I don’t believe in god but I believe in the dimes I find on the ground and the times I’ve made people smile, I believe dragonfly visits and saying hi to the moon and sometimes I find myself negotiating my hopes and dreams with the universe like I rent the space I take up in this cosmic web and need to ask permission to take up more so I find myself still holding my breath driving by cemeteries and still lifting my feet driving over railway tracks like I need the universe to think and know I am good, which is silly because I can feel connected to moments, memories and movements without seeking validation that I am doing life <right> and I guess that’s why people seek religious guidance whereas I find my solace in moments of serendipity and sometimes I do need to find okayness outside of myself and that’s okay and I am okay and so I feel deeply connected with people who also believe that a colourful sunset is a sign that things will be alright, who wear their hearts on the outside, who say weird things out loud and who never forget to say hi to a full moon because it gives me hope and reminds me that I am not seeking okayness from the universe in these moments, im feeling the fabric of other power that is connection and community
