Welcome to the Deep in the Woods podcast, where we delve into the profound meanings of everyday words and the places they lead us. In this special episode, we continue our exploration of the word "sacred," taking you on a journey through time and memory.

In the last installment, we explored the historic McEntyre home from the 1840s and 1850s, reflecting on the concept of sacredness as something set apart with greater meaning. Today, we pick up where we left off, delving deeper into the significance of sacred spaces.

Join us as we venture to the ancestral home of the host's grandparents, Sybil and Hansel Dutton, a place steeped in childhood memories and familial connections. Through vivid recollections of exploring old barns and building forts amidst hedge bushes, we uncover the essence of sacredness intertwined with personal history.

As the host walks through the fields and reflects on cherished memories, from blizzards to family gatherings, we witness the transformative power of shared experiences. Through the lens of his grandparents' legacy of hospitality and kindness, we discover how everyday acts of love ripple through generations, shaping our identities and values.

Through heartfelt storytelling and moments of reflection, we explore the dual nature of memory, encompassing both joyful recollections and painful scars. Yet, in each memory lies a thread of sacredness, woven into the fabric of our lives.

Join us on this poignant journey as we ponder the meaning of sacredness and the profound impact of our shared stories. Through the sounds of nature and echoes of the past, we invite you to pause, reflect, and discover the sacredness in your own experiences.
