You have sinned: have you mourned? You have dissolved the sin.

On Wealth and Poverty, Saint John Chrysostom (via earlychristianity)

I think part of the reason why we feel so sad is that we're too far away from raw, numinous experiences. Like you know that post with a picture of the unpolluted night sky where people are reacting in terrified awe not realizing that's what the stars really look like?

I think it's like. You need vivid experiences that can't be easily repeated. You need elemental things. I don't mean this in a crunchy hippie just-try-yoga way I mean this in a way that's like...we're inside all the time and most things we experience are scheduled ahead of time. When there are sidewalks, we follow them, and there's always some boring place to go. You need things that no one has any control over and that no one can sell for money.

You need to be outside in a storm and see lightning strike very close to you. You need to meet a wild creature and have to stand very still and almost not even breathe and watch before it vanishes. You need to be alone somewhere very big. You need to go to a place because it looks interesting and be at the wrong place at the wrong time. You need to climb over a fence instead of going in by the gate. You need to hear the exploding sound of a huge flock of birds flying. You need to watch live theater performed by kids on a low budget. You need to be lost somewhere. You need to be barefoot somewhere. You need to sing with other people who are singing. You need to get soaking wet with all of your clothes on and come inside shivering.

wow this one is long

i might make some more lore for them bc fairy-stories yes, but we will see if i ever articulate it

suddenly a man elf appears!

man i would like to play DnD if people (myself included) weren’t so busy

his name might be filendred, and the star on his forehead might be called fineralld, which are just some bastardizations of a goofy word that only i shall ever be able to link to their current form

i think the star in his forehead is a shard from a larger star (called the evenstar) that fell to the planet, the elves found it and it’s not exactly like a deity to them but they honor it and protect it ya know
