Don't Care + Didn't Ask + I See Beauty In Things You Wouldn't Even Begin To Ponder

“Water is the softest thing, yet it can penetrate mountains and earth. This shows clearly the principle of softness overcoming hardness.” ~ Lao Tzu, ancient Chinese philosopher and writer

~ Feliks Michał Wygrzywalski (Polish painter, 1875-1944)

To tell a woman that any part of her is inherently masculine is to tell a woman that she possesses qualities that aren't of her. That she is not whole within herself. That she is not just a woman but something more

Thinking about stone temples and shrines to the goddesses just out in nature somewhere. Being able to visit them and pray and leave offerings...

All people are human before we are female or male. We do not have both feminine and masculine energy inside of us. We do not possess certain qualities that belong to something other than ourselves. Femininity is whole in and of itself. Femininity is of the woman. All women are feminine. Femininity encompasses all female traits, all traits present in women

"When God first made people, She did not put them on this earth, but kept them with Her in Heaven. It was so beautiful in Heaven, that I can hardly begin to describe it. But after a time, some of Her children disobeyed Her, and wandered away from Heaven.

Now Heaven is a place for perfectly good people, and because these children were disobedient, ‘they could not find their way back. But God sent Her Daughter, Inanna to help them, and Inanna created a new place for them to live, and this new place was called the earth.

When She first created it, the world was so fresh and bright and beautiful that if you could see it, you would say that Heaven could not be any more wonderful than that (but if you had seen Heaven, you would know that it could!).

When people first came to earth, it was called the Golden Age. People were not stuck in their physical bodies the way we are, they could just "step" out of them. They could travel to another place just by thinking about it. They could understand the language of birds and animals, and build a Temple in the air without wood or stones or any other physical material.

Great princesses ruled over the cities, and everyone was happy under their reign, because like true princesses, they did not rule according to their own likes and dislikes, but ruled in obedience to God and Her laws. These laws are so perfect that when maids live by them, they are always perfectly happy."

My friends and I used to do this thing where we'd dress up on a theme and go do something totally normal.

We dressed up as pirates and went bowling.

We dressed as vikings and went to the grocery store. The security guard told us we had to move our longship because it was illegally parked.

We dressed as Romans and went to Blockbuster. The staff chanted, "toga! Toga! Toga!" at us.

We dressed up all steampunk and went to the museum. Tourists kept taking our picture.
