portable sacredness

it's so intimate when someone shows you one of their sacred objects.



here is a book that changed me.

here is this art piece i just made - it's not something, but it's something.



the sharing of sacredness objects is hopeless, and that's why it's so beautiful. i know it seems silly, i know i cannot hope that you understand why this is sacred to me, even i barely understand because it irrevocably changed the ‘i’, i only know the delta. but hey, here's this thing, this thing that reminds me of other things and makes things a bit more loving, coherent, spacious.



tangentially -

i'd like to be able to easily create spaces i feel sacred within, where i feel strongly that life and human joy are the most sacred of goals. yes, one part of that is building a home within yourself, and a home in stable spaces you spend lots of time in, but part of that is finding objects, sounds, and movements make sacredness ritualizable and portable.



here is a preliminary list of things that facilitate portable sacredness for me:

  • earbuds + earplugs + the Schumann Resonance (7.83 Hz)

  • a Chinese purple-jade necklace in a silver chain

  • a beautiful notebook

  • meditation sitting equipment

  • tea ceremony set

  • kind humans
