Inspired by my experience moving frequently and traveling in my youth, this personal essay explores how individuals move through “thin places”— spaces where humans can become closer to God in Celtic traditions.

I come to argue that people also constitute a thin space; their spirits enlighten us and show us another type of love that we cannot hold for tangible spaces.
