@littlebodybigheart: Stored In Our Core.

@littlebodybigheart: stored in our core.

felt over and over again.

we've been here before.

in different vessels, on different planets.

playing different roles.

evolving and learning from one another.

the synchronicities we witness,

we've planned them together.

transmuting obstacles into opportunities.

for growth.

our language as a barrier to communicate.

what is incomprehensible to us as humans,

is home to us as souls.

DEATH IS LIFE IS DEATH IS LIFE IS DEATH IS LIFE IS...

My first word was "mine." It happened when I was in my walker in my driveway and my dad snatched an ice cream out of my hand and I just screamed "mine!", like "Give me my ice cream! Why'd you take my ice cream?" And then there's a picture of me outside dressed as a bunny. So I just did a little kewpie baby dressed as a bunny, holding ice cream that's melting, just to mix the two experiences".

And then I got a dog and my parents told me I couldn't have a bunny and a dog, so we all decided to give the bunny away to a friend of a friend who already had a bunny. So we thought 'It'll have a friend, that’s amazing, that's awesome.' So they left my bunny and their bunny in the backyard unattended for like, four hours. They ended up finding their bunny in their neighbor's backyard and my bunny's h*ad was in their yard". The bunny in the story is Whinnie.
