I loved reading this, really refreshing to read just about everything that’s been swimming through your brain this summer. I especially loved the part about religious language: “I use religious vocabulary though I did not grow up that way. The relationship I have with putting God in other people, asking them to grant me access somewhere I feel I cannot go on my own. This desire to be given personhood by someone who is not myself. The ritual of love. The banal worships.” Such a beautiful reflection 🍊
