Sacred space is by definition liminal space. Because we are not in control and not the center, something genuinely new can happen. Here we are capable of seeing something beyond self-interest, self-will, and security concerns. True sacred space allows alternative consciousness to emerge.
Hope is holding a creative tension between what is, and what could and should be, and each day doing something to narrow the distance between the two.
