maybe this is the end of everything but also, maybe this is the beginning. maybe in 1000 years people are gonna look back and go 'oh what archaic times. they were so mean to each other.' what if there IS a future without war, without oppression. what if there's a gentler world out there waiting for us to catch up. what if --oh God-- what if the meek DO inherit the earth? what if everything changes? what if we heal?

today's bible study quote hit hard as someone with autism. even though i was diagnosed as a kid i still went through my life masking to the best of my ability (not always effectively). my unmasking process is also part of my religious journey, and God has always known who i was. i never needed a mask
Sorry, but I'd rather accidentally love too many people than too few. I'd rather accidentally welcome people I'm not supposed to than exclude people I'm supposed to welcome. I think God looks much more kindly on one of those than the other.
the more i think about it, the more confident i feel that to be curious and to love are deeply deeply connected.
cause didn't you love the world so much more when you felt you still had so much to learn about it? i don't think that's because you learned the world isn't worth loving but because somewhere along the way you forgot how much left there is to learn and you stopped seeking it out.
but i think about this overwhelming sensation of awestruck wonder i feel, so grand it brings me to tears on an elevator on a random tuesday and i think, this is love. this is like i'm holding the universe, holding God, like a little newborn baby in my arms. i rock them and i think this MUST be how it feels to hold your child and gaze into their eyes the first time. i just can't stop feeling like there's so much beauty, so much potential for understanding, and i can't even breathe! God, the Universe, Logic, coos in my metaphorical arms and i think, 'HOW WONDERFUL! THE POSSIBILITIES!' and suddenly i am in tears at the sight of anything and it's crippling but GLORIOUS!
and the whole world is a child and i am too. and i start to understand how loving it is to ask questions. i start to understand that to love is to seek, to grow toward. suddenly, studying feels like worship. suddenly, studying feels like devotion. and i get it now; when you look at creation through curious eyes, you look upon it with love.
first day of the new year (okay so technicallyyyyy its 2;30 am on the 2nd, but i haven't slept yet so it s till the first for all intents and purposes), and its first time reading the bible since my youth! yippee. today's readings were from Genesis, chapters 1-3, this verse in particular stuck out to me.
And the Lord God made garments of skins for the man and for his wife and clothed them.
Genesis 3:21 NRSVUE
This verse stuck out for a lot of reasons, 1) it reminds me of the everlasting love and compassion of God. Adam and Eve disobeyed him, they became ashamed of their bodies, and after punishing them, He then helped them. He made them clothes. 2) this is something i ahve seen in my own life, many of my negative actions have 'karmic' reactions, I do indeed reap what I sow, God does punish me, but because of this i also know that God must then also help me, He clothes me when I am ashamed, and in a much larger grander way His help is why I am still here today.
