CJ Fitchett Lane #1

Lane's 1st axiom of sacred place is that sacred place is not chosen, it chooses. He provides an example of how he had been searching for religious experience in the woods in vain one evening. He all of a sudden found himself drawn to a clearing in the woods. In this clearing appeared a deer. He describes this as an incredible experience because he was drawn to the clearing. This is an example of sacred place and experience choosing, and not being chosen.
