Thin Places (updated 2/19)

In Celtic spirituality there is this understanding of the “thin place.” It is the place where heaven and earth are so close that they intersect. It is the place where heaven and earth are so close as to be indistinguishable. gloaming


Thin places—you might think of the gloaming of the day. It is that moment—and it might be that moment at dawn or at dusk, it is that moment when it is neither day nor night. They meet. They meet so close as to be indistinguishable. They meet so close that they intersect. It is that place where the veil between one and the other is so thin.


The concept of the “thin place” is a spiritual concept. It is more than a concept. It is that place in our life—or those many places—it is that place in our life where we are so close to God and so close to Christ that the distance between Spirit and physical/tangible us is no distance at all. We have those thin places—you and I. We don’t create them. Our faith takes us to those places. They are gifts from God. Let your faith take you to the thin place.
