I loved reading this. I relate to it so much, not being brought up or really being religious but being interested in the imagery and finding a something of it in little things.

I think we believe in the same god. 🥹 I couldn’t relate to this more. I even have an old black and white photo of a box of kittens and a little puppy peeking inside sitting on my kitchen table. I have a photo of a woman from the 50s sitting on a bed as a bookmark in my journal. I surround myself with iconography because it feels so poignant and powerful even if I don’t follow a religion. The belief those items hold are still so meaningful. Really adored this piece.

gosh, this was stunning and so captivating. I feel like I was bathing in a sun shower just by reading it. Your collage of strangers memories moved me so much. To think you treasured these experience once lived, it’s so beautiful 🥲

I heard God was hiding in the Bible. Maybe have a look there?
