I've never called them "thin places" but I do recognize them. I've called them the places of transformation (i.e. the traveler's transformation) where "the possibility of knowing beyond the realm we live in everyday" (from "Now, a book of moments", by Dami Roelse). "Heights are about the impossible, the dream, moments of stepping across boundaries." David we are kindred spirits. Thank you for this piece and a new word for my vocabulary.
Such beautiful writing as always, David. Gorgeous photos as well. I am now very intrigued by the concept of "thin places" - and will keep this one close to my heart. Thanks for all of this.
What a magical journey. I started diving into the Celtic myth and rituals in a real way a few years ago but haven't been introduced to this concept (at least not in a way I remember). I appreciate you taking me along here and introducing me to the concept of the thin/porous places in such a generous way.

Oh I definitely think you know those “thin places” ver well! And thank you for the very kind words.
Every photo captures the metaphysical reality. That is a majestic feat all its own! The donkeys are sages. Thank you for sharing.
Ah, sage donkeys! I’ll need to let my wife know that! She fell in love with them.

Thank you as always!
Sounds like a magnificent journey. Lovely essays out of it.
Travel does that! Thank you, as always, Rita.

I just love that phrase — “thin places” — it really says it all. Thanks for reading. Celtic mythology fascinates me.
It was quite a trip in so many ways. Thanks, as always, for reading and responding. I think you would love Kisner.
