“This is a thin place. Only a tissue divides the material world from the world of the spirit.”

– George MacLeod,
speaking of the Isle of Iona in the Highlands of Scotland. This small isle, just three miles long by one mile wide, had a huge influence on the establishment of Christianity in Scotland, England, and throughout mainland Europe. MacLeod is quoted below by Timothy West in “Great Canal Journeys,” season 6, episode 3, “The Hebrides and the Crinan Canal.”

(The “thin place” quote begins at 4:39)
