⭐I’ve found myself thinking about God a lot as of late. I didn’t grow up in the Church, and right now I’m not on a distinctive quest for answers experiencing feelings of desperation. EDIT: I am actually so lost but not looking for answers from God necessarily? — I simply am just noticing God everywhere. And when I start explaining these thoughts and feelings to my mother or friends about how much I’ve been thinking about Godliness, I always start by saying:
“Well I’ve just been thinking about how God is everywhere; like in the taste of this chocolate cake or….”
Once I spent a year or more where I didn’t cry at all. I can’t remember if I even laughed from an authentic place at this time period? Because for several of those months I have no memories.
But nowadays– I look up at the moon in cold January and shed a tear because how lovely is the moon? And when watching a beautiful movie because how lovely is that? And hearing that song the 400th time but still tearing up because suddenly it‘s like you’re hearing it for the first time? And crying four times in one yoga class because i just cant help it, everything; even things unknown, are releasing.
I don’t know God personally. But I know where God lives; like in the taste of this chocolate cake. or a cold refreshing breeze on my face when I’m feeling too hot, in the laughter of my loved ones, in the juicy green grass, in how I feel when I’m bathing in endless ocean waves or dancing with my baby cousin. Humble and mindful and indulgent in it all. I dont have to search very hard.

my lovely roommate (at the time) took this pic while we were climbing the portico of san luca in bologna. we were breaking about every 2 minutes because ive got asthma lol. it was a hard and long walk (666 individual porticoes 😮) but so undeniably worth it. the difficulty of climbing the stairs made finally getting to the top all the more cathartic. when you come around the final corner of the never ending stairway, when you’re almost to the top, a cross reveals itself sitting just beyond the final stair. the sun was setting when we were finishing our climb, and the cross was backlit so beautifully. i was so exhausted from climbing, it felt like the divine and sacred thing that was going to save me. i have never been religious. im incredibly skeptical, even fearful of faith, and i generally reject organized religion for many reasons. but when i saw that cross, and put the last of my strength into reaching it, just for a minute, i got it.
