Elizabeth Watkins - Outside Reading

For my first outside reading, I went online. I went to http://beldenlane.com/bio.php because I wanted to learn more about this author. From this website, I learned that he is known for his writings about “the relationship of spirituality to questions of geography, place and nature – asking how particular traditions formulate their understandings of God and spiritual practice with respect to the land”. If I could interview Lane, there are a few questions I would ask. I would ask him: What are your top 3 most spiritual places? What are the sacred places like? And, what kind of feelings do you get from these places? The article I read at this website also talks about how Lane is an excellent storyteller. I know that is answers to these questions would be so incredibly interesting and they would teach me a lot about how other people, especially professionals in the field, look at sacred place.
