I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS A LOT LATELY

ephemeral. liquid, even. an infinite thread. (i know that’s three words/phrases sorry). but to me this idea is present as a unifying force in fleeting moments i’ve always had the freedom growing up to explore religion on my own terms, and i always felt like there was some uniting force in the makeup of our souls, even if it didn’t mirror the masculinized, christian God. i feel connected to this force whenever i learn about people in history and realize they werent much different than us in the modern day. we just had different cultural contexts. every time the season changes. when you’re with someone you really care about and even silence suffices. in the same vein, making friends. like that feeling when you meet someone and connect and know you want them to be in your lives for a while. fate is God to me. as is chance encounters. when i take walks in nature and i can hear the river and the trees and the birds calling all at once. even when you’re in line at a store and you make brief small talk or have a connection with a stranger. especially when you get a little laugh or smile out of it. overall, when i feel really connected with humanity and the earth as a whole. i feel like all organized and not-so-organized religion stems from the same place in our hearts and souls (despite these messages sometimes becoming warped and misused).

UGHHH I love your words. connection with loved ones and strangers is such a big one to me. The unified interconnected world, makes it feel like there is a greater force.

Connection

kinda vague & all encompassing, but truly connection in all forms keeps me going. this could look like love or belonging but it’s more than that! it’s a feeling of being intertwined and interwoven with Life itself. it’s a connection to people, self, nature, animals, art, music, history, etc. when you feel that sense of connection with something, it just feels so light and blissful, you feel involved in life/the world & less alone, you understand yourself and feel an hopeful openness that’s indescribable ✨

CONNECTIONS ARE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL AND POWERFUL THING

moments of shared humanity make me feel so alive. be it going to concerts and moshing or dancing, having a laugh with a friend or seeing and being seen. I value every connection ive got to make, even when things ended poorly. sometimes you go your separate ways and sometimes you reconcile after, but either way you leave changed. a lot of pain can stem from intimacy but i cant help but see my own future as very beautiful and bright

the ebbs and flows of desire

I've been thinking about this for the past 24hrs I think we go through seasons, naturally Of desiring, and being desired, A pendulum back and forth Ebbs and flows I often seek connection And some days bask in it Remembering each during the other Makes the cycle less jarring
