Hi James and Everyone,

That is a great reminder, James, that the “sacred space” Campbell suggested we each find can be in any of the arts and not just in writing. And that sacred space can be not just the hour in which we write, paint, draw, sculpt, dance, choreograph, or make music, but in the artwork itself. The sacred space can be both the time spent on a poem or being within the poem (the thoughts or sense of place) as it is being written. Or, same with a song: being within the song one is composing or playing on an instrument and feeling within that space and timing of the song.
