In The Beginning

In the beginning there were no temples, mosques or churches. Worship was never indoors. The sacred space was the garden, where the man and woman practiced rituals of holy agriculture, following the ceremony of the seasons.

They planted, sang seeds up, harvested, and danced the wine. Conceiving no difference between heaven and earth, they made no  sacrifices on an alter, but left generous portions of their harvest in the field for the poor and the wanderer. This was their offering.

The inner sanctum of their sacred space was the heart, and the most holy sacrament was breathing, poured into the flame of divine love. Each woman a priestess, and every man a priest, each home a temple, and every breath a prayer; so in each would be increased the mystery that was everywhere.
