RHYTHMS OF THE UNIVERSE

I'm Sam This is my art stuff

[wordsthat-speak]

I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones and which can only be experienced in those bones.

I’m a dirt person. I trust the dirt. I don’t trust diamonds and gold.

I think it’s important to take some time to think about what love means to you. What is your idea of love? Where does it come from? Look at your parents relationship. Your own relationships. Your relationship with each of your parents. If you think about it, we receive many messages of what love is through all of our relationships. Love may look like the times your dad failed to give you any emotional attention. Love may look like the times your mother didn’t show up to any of your games. Just think about all of the things you are shaped by, consciously or subconsciously. Because as long as these things go without search, we’re going to pursue relationships that model the image of what we know love to be.

The world is set up in a way that I am puzzled as to how I should respond to it. I want to change things, but I believe that it takes small personal steps and that it's very important to lead by example. Just yesterday, one of the people that I love most passed away... and I wasn't able to make it there in time because my work wouldn't accept me calling out for an emergency like that. In a world where the death of one of your most loved family members isn't as important as working is really fucked up. I don't want to be a part of it any longer, but everything revolves around money far too much. As I grow, I feel this pain in my body.. not a physical one, but a psychological one that makes me feel like I should be outdoors, growing my own food, foraging, and spending more time with my family. I don't want to be a part of a system that places such a low value on these things. Each day, before I go to work, I can't help but think, "why am I doing this, day after day.." The pros and cons of living this life vs living a more natural life are really difficult to weigh out. I suppose the job I am working is extremely unrewarding in my eyes, and I'd rather be focusing my energy on providing education to other people, or at least working in an environment where love is a higher value. The system we have created needs to be changed.. money is driving far too much and it is destroying the quality of our lives. I am so determined to find another way to live my life. 

Today is a day to mourn the loss of my grandmother, but to be happy that she existed at all. I will always love her and her desire to help the earth.. Now I need to do my part and carry on her legacy to ultimately create a healthier planet and healthier lifestyles for all humans. Just a little bit at a time...

Consider that you radiate. At all times. Consider that what you’re feeling right now is rippling outward into a field of is-ness that anyone can dip their oar into. You are felt. You are heard. You are seen. If you were not here, the world would be different. Because of your presence, the universe is expanding.

This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.

Imagine a house that has everything you need, but nothing more. Walls and a roof that shelter, but do not entrap you with false promises and hidden costs. The Dutch have an untranslatable word: gezellig. The Germans have a similar word, gemütlich. It’s a combination of comforting, welcoming, cosy, and inspiring. I built this house in the spirit of those words, to be efficient, practical, and aesthetically nourishing.

Nothing compares to your hands, nothing like the green-gold of your eyes. My body is filled with you for days and days. You are the mirror of the night. The violent flash of lightning. The dampness of the earth. The hollow of your armpits is my shelter, my fingertips touch your blood. All my joy is to feel life spring from your flower-fountain that mine keeps to fill all the paths of my nerves which are yours.
