there's not much to say really. i was in very dire straits, paralyzed by it, needed to make hard decisions but couldn't. one day praying to this icon i had what i can only call a mysyical experience, and it was the beginning of the tide turning.

And this one might be best of all—

“the plants and the animals and the rocks and the rivers and everything else still speaks the holy tongue. they did not build the tower, and were against it from the start. they have no curse. and they understand us if we speak to them.

Great list. Appreciate the mention at the end. So many good ones here.

“myths are either true, or it's possible for a lie to enlighten us about what's real. to me, the second is more absurd.”

“from true vine to true wine

even the divine takes time

and it's by design”

Just a couple favorites. Nothing to add really, just love reading these together. Different experience than reading them one at a time in the other place.

"many things are pregnant with meaning, looking for a midwife"

Damn, that goes hard. I guess God is the midwife here, eh?

i meant it the other way around. God is the impregnator. we are supposed to be the midwife.

You telling me the mexicans have been pronouncing HeyZeus the right way all this time? I refuse to believe it.
