Sacred music doesn’t require an altar to be holy. What makes music sacred is not location—but invocation. It’s the posture of the heart of the performer, the intention behind the creation, the resonance of symbol, and the invitation into meaning.
The world is aching for music that speaks beyond entertainment, beyond capitalism, beyond distraction. Let us be artists who serve not only the art—but the Spirit within us that brings about our artistry.
To repeat something daily is to mark it as meaningful.
Repetition is how monks chant Psalms, how dancers master a routine, how children memorize how it feels to be love.
I look around at this post Covid world — a world sprinting faster every day toward automation, self indulgence, and instant gratification — and I wonder if anything I’m crafting will even have a place.
When we hear the word sacred, many think of the religious — the holy, the sanctified, the set apart for worship. And yes, the sacred is all of these things. But it’s also something more fundamental, more deeply human: The sacred is that which is deliberately filled with meaning. It is what we choose to treat with reverence, focus, and care.
