Sacred Eternal: Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Thailand

A temple is a sacred space because it is a monument to the flame of the human soul… an external reminder, that we are great. We are beautiful. …that we burn so brightly.

We… are eternal. Even in what some may call our ruin…

…the Light of our Spirit never dies- and therefore as our descendants live on, all we build, lives on within our people.

Within the stories… stories of our exhalations and our downfalls. Stories of our collective memory- the moments that shaped who we were and… who we became because of those moments.

Within every ruin, is the heart of a nation. Within every temple… is the flame of a civilization… the heart of a people that never die.

Our faith is what guides us yet it is our Spirit that enlivens everything we touch and shape… every action we make, embodied in stone.

It is my hope and prayer for you, that any temple you erect, you may allow it be one of Truth… one of Authenticity. Let every creation - whether physically, mentally, or energetically manifested - let it be something that expresses Your essence… because no matter what story you decide to tell, no matter how much time passes after you’ve released that manifestation, even with the changing of the winds, that eternal flame will ever have been born of the Light within You.

Burn bright, beautiful. Burn bright.

…and remember, if you’re in need of help finding your Way, we are here… and honored journey alongside you.

Come to The Mountain, a sanctuary for the Slow Living Artist in you.
