The Way of the Wild Heart: Introduction

I've read the John Eldredge's book Wild at Heart earlier this year, now I've been reading his sequel, The Way of the Wild Heart. In the introduction, Eldredge is describing a seakayaking trip that he and his family took to Alaska. On the way, they had stopped at Chichagof Island. This is a place were many grizzlies inhabit. Eldredge writes, " I began to walk in the marked trail, stepping into the firm, deep-worn places where bears had walked for centuries. I'm not sure how to describe the experience, but for some reason, the word holy comes to mind." This thought that Eldrege feels is sacred . He is touching upon ground that has become sacred, because of events that have occurred at this particular site.
