So often West Texas will slap you in the face with its heat, screaming at you to take notice. Other times it whispers in your ear and suggests that you stop, look up, take a deep breath, and marvel at its wide-open spaces.
Marfa, Texas is located right smack dab in the middle of this wide-open space. It has one traffic light, yet it has a famous Prada store, which isn’t a store at all, but rather an art installation. Donald Judd, the famous New York City minimalist artist turned the remote town of Marfa into a cultural pilgrimage site when he put his studio there. Judd wanted a place to house his permeant gigantic installations and began making his work in three dimensions which changed the idea of art.
But way before Donald Judd set up shop, Marfa was known for their mystery lights.
Since 1617, when Captain Manuel Pedro Vasco first saw the Marfa Lights, he called them, “The lights of God.” Since then, people have reported strange ball of lights above the horizon on the outskirts of this small Texas town. No one knows exactly what they are or what they do, and they aren’t always there. That’s what makes them so captivating. These source-less lights which can be blue, white, or yellowish, glow, fade, dance, disappear, and return at different places and change colors anytime between dusk to midnight. Some think they are UFOs, evil spirits, good spirits, or to skeptics, headlights on the horizon. Of course, in 1671 there were no cars.
I feel this is a formula for any sacred site.
Forget what the non-believers and skeptics say. Forget what you’ve seen, or think you’ve seen, with your own eyes. When you visit a sacred site, activate the joy within you, and release the need to control the outcome. And maybe like me, you will get to witness magical moments firsthand.
