Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead,

and Christ will shine on you.

Ephesians 5:14

[calliophies]

Hiraeth (n.) — a homesickness, a deep, often bittersweet longing for a place your soul remembers. A home that may not exist in this lifetime but lives in your bones, in the wind, in the spaces that make you feel whole. The nostalgia, the yearning, the grief for the lost places of your past. It carries a soul-deep ache for belonging, for a place or a time where you felt whole. An ancestral, spiritual-a yearning for something that may never return, but lives inside you still.
