Find the gods in the everyday.

Find Them in the first sip of hot coffee that doesn’t quite burn. Find Them in the rising sun and the safety of warm sheets. Find Them in the silver light that heralds the sun.

The gods are not kept to shrines or grand things. They are vast and wonderful and you can find Them in the smallest of things. Whisper prayers into the steam of your tea. Mutter praises under your breath when no one else knows you’re awake. Those moments-right before you sleep and just after waking-are the most intimate.

I am so mad rn because it's autumn and I'm in quarantine and I finally, finally have time to read all the books I have on my tbr, I finally have time to perfect my drawing to learn new things, languages, skills, that I have wanting to learn for a very long time. But no. I had to get covid and now I'm too weak to even get out of bed. I wanna shoot someone.
