it is not about the fireworks anymore. i am done with the loud things.

intimacy is the silence between us that isn’t empty. it is sitting in the same room, doing different things, and feeling the tether of your presence like a physical weight against my side. "alone together." the safety of it.

i want the mundane worship.

i want to memorize the history written on your hands.

i want to know exactly how you take your coffee, not because it is important to the world, but because it is the most important data point in mine.

to be loved is to be seen. but to be intimate is to be seen ugly, to be seen tired, to be seen when you are cracking apart, and having someone sit next to you and say, "i am not going anywhere. rest here."

i don’t want to just hold your hand. i want to hold your peace. i want to be the quietest thing you keep.

The art of the Inca civilization of Peru (c. 1425-1532 CE) produced some of the finest works ever crafted in the ancient Americas. Inca art is best seen in highly polished metalwork, ceramics, and, above all, textiles, which was considered the most prestigious of art forms by the Incas themselves. Designs in Inca art often use geometrical shapes, are standardized, and technically accomplished. The European invaders destroyed much of Inca art either for sheer monetary gain or religious reasons but enough examples survive as testimony to the magnificent range and skills of Inca artists.

Inti

Lord of the sun and sustenance and patron god of the Inca Empire. Without Inti there is no warmth, no vision, no crops, no rain. He is essential to all things. He is often the child of Viracocha, the creator god, or Pachamama, the earth mother, and sister to Mama Quilla, the moon goddess. Sacrifices were set aside for Inti whether they be cloth garments, blood, land, or food. He is said to have led the people to found the city of Cusco, central to the empire. Inti had three different forms representing different forms of the sun, possibly the diurnal stages or different heavenly associations with the sun: Apu Inti (the father), Churi Inti (the son), and Inti Wawqi (the brother). He is celebrated by the festival Inti Raymi, and his central temple was the Coricancha/Intikancha. The ruler Pachacuti is attributed with spreading the cult of the sun, and to this day Inti's solar imagery can be seen on different flags of various countries, such as Peru and Argentina.
