I am sorry for the crazies.
Yesterday was Aaralyn's two month birthday. If that's a birthday. Two months old! I really wanted to give her a cupcake with a candle but I didn't think that that would be a good thing. And there's really no way to gussy up formula to make it more appealing, at least not to my knowledge, so instead I just used it as an excuse to get her all dolled up in a fancy tiny adorable dress and take far too many pictures. The mantel is already covered in pictures of her, as is every flat surface in my room, and every relative of mine or Marc's has probably received a good three dozen by now. Her first two weeks I'd take a picture of her basically every day, and I've only gotten slightly better since.
Needs exist because there is something to sustain them, no? We wouldn't get hungry if there was no food, would we? We wouldn't feel cold if there was never a warmer temperature that we could compare it to. So doesn't our innate human need for something spiritual almost prove the very existence of it? The oldest artifacts of humanity are religious symbols.
I love this demonstration. Put your hand down by your chest with one finger pointed straight up. Start to move your hand in a clockwise circle. Continue circling your hand, but lift it up above your head. Now which way is it going? Two viewpoints. Two opposite viewpoints. But they're all watching the exact same activity and they're both right. We all have our own truths but who's to say we aren't all seeing mirrors of the exact same thing?
I don't know what it is that shucked me off into these queries and curiosities. The arrival of Aaralyn, perhaps. That's just a little life-changing. And people have always said there's something surreal and mystic about Ireland. I have a friesian named Cerin Aireal who I take out into the woods behind the house and I swear that place is just ancient. It's not something provable outside of the resonance you get in your chest, but I can't tell what I'd give to know the people who've shared these woods with me through time. And then we get back to the scientific because I'd talk about just folding time over and taking a leap.
Is there more? I feel like there's more. No more for now though.
