The Love We Know
now online - link in bio!
We may seem weird to the status quo but the love we know makes us whole.
Artwork by Cris R Hernández
We are bound together in this global community of those who dare to care.
To see what is considered “normal” and understand that all of the difficulty we have to go through, to be ourselves, to imagine a better world, to let go of the fear of being who we are...
...is worth it.
Because when you decouple yourself from the machine, you realize the true meaning of life is so obvious, and so simple.
You realize the mirage that’s been institutionalized all around us and decide instead to reconnect to the real world.
You see that joy comes from the smallest things in life, things that often cost nothing at all. The love of people and earth. The warmth of sun on your skin and wind against your face. Or feeling the joy on the dancefloor!
It is this depth of existence that inspired this episode - while it can feel so isolating to step beyond the void, there is a depth of richness to life that makes it all worth it.

"The Love We Know"
Bound, plastic bliss
Meets an end recarbonized
Earth Wind and Fire
The churn of ancestry, biology and fate ferments
As spiritual margins lie between the lines
A world buried in plain sight
Wave farewell to the confines
As the mind unwinds
Inertia twirls us deep into the whirlpool
Depths unknown to those above
subterranean submarinean
Allah Kareem
Wait and see
How profound this Love can be
A solar cascade bathes the soul
The iris twists
What is this?
Amongst a forest of trees
Two leaves dismount their branch
Milliseconds become eternity
Behold the miracle of serendipity
As we descend the canopy
To unite
Side by side
On the earthen floor
Blessed with the bliss of ignorance, or is it a curse?
For within the forest lies a Love only we can know
A miracle, Our Miracle
Sows roots deep in cosmic dust
Together, dreams grow of more
The depth of the sea
And the height of our stars
Spans unimagined, bridged
By what’s shared between us.
