"A landscape acquires meaning- aesthetic, economic, scientific- through being viewed. However, landscapes are more than the some of their views, which are ephemeral, the product of a certain angle of the light, or a change in attitude, for instance following the revelation that sheep thrive on saltbush after all. Any given landscape is the accumulating demonstration of change over time, and can only be approximated in the present."

-- Kirsty Douglas; "Pictures of Time Beneath"

i think it’s very important to be at least be a little playful with your own religion. feeling comfortable and safe enough in your own faith to have fun with it is genuinely so, so important to me. it takes some of the pressure off of always ‘getting it right’. and besides! i like to think that the gods really do appreciate the trust we place in them when we allow ourselves to be truly ourselves, with all our vulnerabilities and flaws, in their presence.

don’t get me wrong; reverent, formal, ceremonial, worship is beautiful!! but so is being able to drop all formalities and just talk to your deities… telling them everything that’s on your mind when you need to, or maybe when you’re just too overwhelmed to worship more traditionally. it’s about being able to pray formal hymns and prayers at their alter (if that’s something that feels right for you), but also feeling comfortable enough to simply reach out and talk to them as if they were an old friend or family member that loves you dearly.

cultivating balance is so important for maintaining a healthy relationship with your religion! so just make sure you don’t forget to actually enjoy your practices. at the end of the day, worship should feel fulfilling, whatever that means for you. ♡

"The bottom-up perspective on personality gives us reason to believe that if you are not at what you would consider to be an optimal level of optimism, you can still gain the benefits of being optimistic: you don't have to be inherently optimistic to live optimistically. [...] Optimists have an advantage because their personalities lead them to do the optimistic thing naturally, but if you know what the optimistic thing is, you don't have to be an optimist to do it."
