sympathy for the greenhouse

This church holds many dusty memories from the Old Life. She faintly remembers when she would carry the infants, comfort the sick, and help the old pass on. She clearly remembers when there was suffering love within her, when believers were baptized, and every sermon that was conducted at her pulpit. She had hoped, before it all was Raptured, that everyone would be there for her first mass in the New World, but as she sees now, that hope was not enough.

This church is not the only one left in the country nor the world, for she has brother and sister churches only miles apart that are graced by the wonder of nature and the care from their guests. Unfortunately, she can't see beyond her grounds, as much as she would love to see her siblings. She doesn’t envy the siblings within her, though; no she doesn’t envy anyone.

In what’s now a forest, she sits as more of a reverse greenhouse. She’s covered in green of many species that aren’t even native to the country, and yet her insides are clean of it all. She provides the Light for the life outside her. In her ecosystem, there grows sea marigolds along the cathedral’s walls, yellow bellflower line the path to her doors, and her Siberian carpet cypress is perfect for picnics on the lawn. The Light within is all that's needed for these plants to grow. Her rose window looks over it all and glints as she sees people coming. Even in their New Life, there are those who come to pray and hear the Word when they can. Even if they are spread thin from foraging and farming, for they don’t want to dirty their robes with the blood of innocent animals. This is the age beyond the past practices.

The priest that cleanses the church of dirt is setting up a new sermon and prayer at her pulpit, candles forever lit. The sisters and brothers and friends that live within her walls put together fresh floral arrangements for the vases and sconces. Her guests arrive in snow white robes, buttons and stitching as gold as the jewelry that will adorn them when they are taken by God for the second Earth. These Grace-Given people treat her with kindness, but also a permanency not taken for granted, even as they chase down halls in amusement. They dress and treat her as one of the brides to their Father, and the church feels the love for her. If she could preen, she would. She only imagines her sibling churches to look and feel the same.

As she looks outside her borders again, she knows the world was turned newer than it ever was before. The life given to them by grace is more beautiful than that of amnesty or asylum.

The new wildness of nature doesn’t harm or despair her guests, but they would rather be careful than drive anything to extinction. This is New Life, after all. Memories of their Old Life are gone, and they may be within the in-between, but still, they get the feeling they must care for this World better than before.

Yes, this New Life will soon end to make way for the New World. A World they can inhabit with the Lord their God. This New Life is simply a stepping stone.

  When Loki shows up in Avengers Tower, a lot of thoughts run through your mind, filling in reasons why. Another attempt at world domination. Making up with Thor. Revenge.

Turns out, his reason is far simpler; he wants to get his OTP--you and Tony--together. And, being Loki, he has a rather... unconventional way of doing so

FFwB--an extrovert--has turned out to have an extremely anxious and quiet daughter (age 2) who likes to read. I find myself constantly trying to gently inform her of ways her opinions can fuck up a quiet kid, as a quiet kid. Today's topic was "please don't tell your daughter that if she can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all, because then she might learn that speaking up about problems is bad." I'm not sure if I got through. I guess we're now getting into the age where I have to be the model for her of what I didn't have when I was a kid.

for four winds below

Sometimes, all that was needed for a bit of contentment was the calm of the wind and a thunderstorm. It’s only the rumble that’s needed, really. Mix the wind with the scent of the storm and it suddenly smells heavenly, as if there was a bigger rain, more lightning coming. One that carried an air of change and peace unlike any other. Most would call it tornado weather, though. Not anything too life changing.

So many conspiracy channels and websites claim everything is demons, that everything that happens is a prophecy being fulfilled, but they forget themselves. They’ve claimed every other “tornado weather” storm is the one implied in Revelation 6:12-14, or perhaps it’s a repeat of Genesis 6-9, so why would they be right this time? But this church doesn’t worry about any of this, she’s not on the internet nor can she read. She worries more about what she hears of the Gospels, the Testaments, and the heretics, saints, or martyrs… and of the industrial-style victims that are her sibling churches.

This weather, though, she knows. And she loves it dearly. Her priest taught many years ago that these were the storms that proved God’s handiwork, that maybe the rain is His tears for the fallen state of the world He created. This church hadn’t necessarily grown up quite like the kids in Sunday school, as she is a building of concrete and limestone and sandstone that, inspired as an in-between of two of her sisters, but her years have been spent learning nonetheless. Her home is wooded and vastly mountainous, but she doesn’t care for trivial things like that of location. She cares for this storm brewing. This church wants to sit ever so still and watch this storm head-on through her window. She needs to feel this storm through the eye of her soul. Feel her numinous panes shutter and shudder, unable to look away. The wind is relentless, but that is the nature of this storm, the nature of most storms. Praying is unneeded, as she feels the divinity entwined with the rainfall, the battering wind, the blessed strikes of lightning. She feels the divinity in how the plants around her thrive in this weather, how the trees protect the weaker greens from the wind.

But even still, when the storm starts to subside, the church also feels the notable change of air. Air turning into that not unlike the air before disaster strikes. And maybe those theorists were onto something this time, because even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Her limestone stands anticipating and strong, but she feels her sandstone whimper as if it were once apart of the Tower of Babylon. Afraid of the strike to come. Maybe praying is needed, as she is decidedly losing her easy steadfastness. Will she, the church of over a century, crumble with the next “tornado weather?” She may be losing stubborn stones, but she doesn’t dwell. She never dwells. If she had dwelled, her plot and foundation would be uprooted by now. She won’t be uprooted now.

For some reason, I can't do a read more on mobile rn but below are some personal thoughts and feelings about my current love life. Hit J or scroll a ton to skip.

I haven't openly posted about this, but during mine and Cole's relationship (which was open for anyone who doesn't know) I had a FWB. It was very casual for the majority of the time. We did become best friends though, which made us have to reevaluate things. However, the one thing happened which I swore wouldn't. It makes me look like a typical person who tried an open relationship and failed, but the situation is more complicated than that. We kind of realized we had feelings for each other right near the very end of mine and Cole's relationship. I have to emphasize that that is not why Cole and I broke up. I won't go into why we broke up, but it had nothing to do with my feelings for another person. Cole and I were very much in love and worked well together for most of the four years we were together. Looking at the big picture, we ended up having different goals for the future and our general dispositions weren't compatible anymore. Ultimately, that is why we broke up. Everything else that happened was a symptom of that.

I say all that to give context to my current situation. FWB and I have, since the breakup, been completely honest about our feelings and want to pursue something. (For more context, Cole and I broke up in late February, but still lived together until late April.) Former FWB is aware and understanding that I am not ready and still need to heal from ending a four year relationship. Cole keeps asking what the nature of mine and FFWB's relationship is going to become, but I won't tell him for obvious reasons. I still get sad and reminisce about me and Cole, but I still know that breaking up was right for me. I have enjoyed being on my own and answering only to myself.

I've never posted about this before, but I just had to gush about "new" guy for a second. To start, we have a very open line of communication, and we both know that a relationship isn't coming terribly soon. We both understand the situation and each other completely, even if our friends don't. (To Cole's credit, Cole and I communicated really well for a while, but towards the end he would keep his feelings from me, which hurt and made things worse.) It's all complicated, I just want to assure anyone reading this that's there no leading on or lines getting crossed, for my sake. (I won't mention Cole in comparison again, because this post isn't about that, but I want to point out that he was a good partner and I did love him very much, but the breakup was necessary.)

Anyway, this guy just constantly surprises me with his positivity and generosity. Like, that's how everyone knows him. Yesterday, I worked from 7:30am to 11pm, with two short breaks. It was in the town square for the 4th. He said he would bring me lunch and I just asked for a sandwich. He brought me a big Publix sub (which are heavenly for those who don't know), a box of blackberries, a quarter of a watermelon, a bag of mini Oreos, and a Coke. (Also a box of tampons bc I started my period on the job. I asked him to bring a small box and he brought a value pack of my specific brand.) When I finally got off work he came over even though he had to get up early and bought us Cookout while I was taking a bath. Then when I got out he rubbed my sore swollen foot. All he asked in return was that I scratch his head. Y'all. This is like all the time for him. He, to a lesser extent, even treated me this way just as a friend. He obviously gives me more now, but he treats all his close friends like this. Even when I was dating Cole and I was sick one time, he brought me snacks , and even brought something for Cole. He is so ridiculously patient with me and my mental illnesses. He helps me do the things I can't because of my illnesses. He helps me make phone calls and ever so gently encourages me to get out of bed. And when I just can't he tells me it's okay and I deserve the rest and we'll try again tomorrow. I could go on and on.

I just had to share.

[movedto-enbylebeau]

After deliberation, blocked ffwb on Facebook messenger, and I think I'm gonna stop by during his shift to tell him not to talk to me directly anymore since we were so toxic

I kinda wanna flirt with girls today but I'm having a hella bad flare up of joint pain ugh
