“in the sky, on the earth, / the four sides, the four corners, as it is said, / by the maker, modeler, / mother-father of life, of humankind, / giver of breath, giver of heart, / bearer, upbringer in the light that lasts / of those born in the light, begotten in the light; / worrier, knower of everything, whatever there is: / sky-earth, lake-sea.”

journal fragments about god, pt. 1

[miathologist]

Thinking about all the women who raised me. About how love is giving not what is deserved but what is needed. About god (because it is Sunday and even if I do not step foot inside another church for twenty years I will always think about god on sundays). Thinking about how Víctor Hugo said “To love another person is to see the face of God” and how Dostoevsky said “ the more you succeed in loving the more you will be convinced at the existence of god“ and how Keats called love his religion. The Bible says god is love which means LOVE IS GOD!! Love is the most divine thing in the universe. To love and to let yourself be loved is the only kind of worship that matters.

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

on losing the bronze medal game in my senior year the day of my 23rd birthday

these days, I never talk to god as much as when I’m on the field in a losing game—

and look I’ve never believed that just wanting something was enough for Him to give it to me but this time I thought maybe I’d get lucky. and even though I wasn’t supposed to believe in luck I never could help the way the words would fall out of my mouth when I should’ve been saying ‘lord willing’ instead

my mom always said to be careful what you prayed for because god had a sense of humour. He might give you what you wanted but never in the way you expected or He might give you the opposite just because you asked for it and it’s been years since I lived in that house but I’m still trying to figure out what’s funny about that 

and I guess I forgot, I guess I let myself imagine a world where god wanted me to be happy more than He wanted me to be good. or where I could be both, where being good didn’t mean I had to suffer. but when I hear holiness all I think of is pain and the time we hit the crossbar on an open net with 3 minutes left and for the first time all season we didn’t pray with the other team after the game.
