❝ God occupies me as a shapeless hunger. ❞

- Scherezade Siobhan, “The Mirror I Won’t”

#quote #scherezade siobhan #this is TOO relevant to my life #this is that awful feeling of perpetual starvation put into words #it's that awful ache of never being close enough to God while we occupy a body #it is unbearable #our real hunger is for the divine #for the heart of things #and that yearning will only be satisfied after death #so in the meantime we have to learn to live with this #it plays a purpose too after all



❝ The terror of being on earth yet longing for heaven. ❞

- Clarice Lispector, from “Terror,” Selected Cronicas
 

#quote #our life in a nutshell #it really is a terror at times #galatians 5:17 #it's hell #and that's the irony #because the flesh alone makes hell #the spirit is always drawn to heaven #and it can feel it in every moment even here on earth #so yes that longing is still an undying ache until death #but the terror is temporary #this too shall pass

Ascent of the Blessed  by Hieronymus Bosch // “Magnets” by Disclosure featuring Lorde

#art #the imagery of this is 100% headspace relevant #this does funny things to my heart #just that tunnel stretching out of infinite blackness #and leading to the most brilliant joyful light #can you FEEL that? #just the way it shines on every single figure in the picture #you know there's a line in the bible that this makes me think of #luke 9:62 #that's the point of no return #once your feet are set towards heaven you cannot ever turn back #and really #if your heart has truly chosen heaven #if you have truly seen that light in that painting #even in the smallest way #then you won't even consider turning back #the thought won't even cross your mind #god's love is a magnet #and it's the true north that calls us all home
