“I prefer to their dogma my excursions into the natural gardens where the voice of the Great Spirit is heard in the twittering of birds, the rippling of mighty waters, and the sweet breathing of flowers.” - Zitkala-Sa / we’re a healthy blend of pagans and theists / here’s a postulate - that there is much to see that we are not seeing / What’s standing between me and my ability to see God? / the center of the universe is everywhere / If we move through the world harming others, we become callous and blind / we are trying to be separate independent Gods / the centrifugal force in the act of sex / if you wanna enjoy the flavors of power and opulence, you’re choosing illusion / the pure devotees see in their heart of hearts with the eye of devotion tinged with the salve of love
