We were brought up with having a love of your garden, having somewhere you can go in, it's your little sanctuary, you can go there and you can switch off.
If we could make our house a home, and then make it a sanctuary, I think we could truly find paradise on Earth.
I pray, read the word, and then creative stuff happens here. Problem-solving and all of that comes into that space. So 'Da Box' actually represents my sanctuary and that time. I might look trapped in a box, but I'm actually more free in that box than anyone on the outside looking in or in any other space in my life.
Portland calls itself a 'sanctuary city,' but it's nothing of the sort for a law-abiding journalist.
Shetland has always been a place of sanctuary for me. I visited when I dropped out of university, and I just loved it from the minute I got there. It's a bleak but very beautiful place.
Old age is, so to speak, the sanctuary of ills: they all take refuge in it.
I live in a Moomin house in East London which I fill with blankets and nice crockery and get people round for dinner. When you travel a lot, you feel rootless and adrift - this is my sanctuary, where I can breathe out.
I think for me, home needs to be a sanctuary. I need to feel like I've escaped the day when I get home.
Your home is your sanctuary. You need to make it a place you love to be in.
May we have communion with God in the secret of our hearts, and find Him to be to us as a little sanctuary.
