HOLY GROUND 

"Our first task in approaching 

Another people,

Another culture,

Another religion,

Is to take off our shoes 

For the place we are approaching is holy.
 

Else we find ourselves treading on another's dream.

More serious still, we may forget 

that God was present before our arrival."

-Unknown

[It's Korea: shoes are left in the entryway of homes, places like the community center 

where I work, and in many restaurants . I like this both literally and metaphorically.] 

“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, 

for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”

-Exodus 3:5
