Day 23 of 40 Days of *Sankalpa*: Holy Ground

“Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” —Exodus 3:5 This passage reminds me that sacredness does not exist only in temples, churches or places of worship. It is also present in the ordinary moments of our lives. There have been times when I rushed through my day believing that connection with the Divine would come later—after the work was finished, the house was quiet or everything felt settled. But this passage continually calls me back. The ground beneath my feet is holy right here and now. Cooking dinner. Sitting with a friend. Walking through nature. Teaching, resting or simply breathing. Each moment can be infused with reverence when we pause long enough to recognize it. Surrender means releasing the belief that the sacred is somewhere in the distance. It asks us to soften into the present and remember that where we stand—with our flaws, joys, questions and challenges—is already holy. Today’s reflection: Where in your life can you recognize the holiness of the present moment? Today’s practice: Pause and take off your shoes. Stand barefoot on the earth or on the floor of your home. Feel the support of the ground beneath you. Let it remind you that every space you inhabit holds the potential to become sacred when you meet it with presence.
