You are a ghost driving a meat covered skeleton made from stardust riding a rock floating through space. Fear nothing.

Recapture the Rapture by Jamie Wheal
Our own “personal journey,” if unchecked, can lead to dangerous ego inflation and distortion. Any experience or insight that pulls us “up and away” from our relationships is probably half-baked. An experience that brings us “down and among” toward the least of our brothers (and sisters) is likely a more stable and trustworthy revelation.
If we deny the sacred, the mundane will crush us. If we deny the mundane, the sacred will burn us. But once we accept both, we die to our lives of separation.
Rather than yearning for transcendence and escape, we come to appreciate the preciousness of these brief mortal lives. Isn’t that why the gods and angels have always been jealous of us anyway? Humans are the existential mayflies of the universe. With life spans so brief that every moment matters to us, in a way that the immortals can never taste. We have prefrontal cortexes and opposable thumbs, and for a fleeting few decades we’re here to love and lose, to fight and fuck, to create and destroy, to yearn and grieve.

The Spiritual Side of GIVING BIRTH (& why you should get off birth control) | Meat-Based Podcast
The audio was a little messed up on my end during this episode of Nicole and myself's bi-weekly podcast, Meat Based; however, it doesn’t matter much as this episode was centred around Nicole’s soon-to-be natural birth coming up in a few months. I found this episode enlightening and interesting, to say the least!
