Sherry this was a beautiful read. Felt like sitting cross-legged under the stars, listening to someone name the questions my soul has whispered for years. That image of you burying letters in the backyard broke me open a little because haven’t we all, in our own way, tried to send messages into the unknown, hoping something or someone would write back?

Your words are a sacred kind of mirror. The ache, the wonder, the searching… it’s all so familiar. And yes maybe the whole point is bearing witness to each other. Maybe that is holy. Thank you for sharing your quest with such honesty and beauty. I feel less alone in mine.

With love and quiet awe,

Salwa

Salwa, thank you so much for sharing in detail how this read was for you. Sometimes it can feel like I’m writing into the void, like the letters I buried to God as a child, so getting a response with such genuine feedback is affirming. Thank you for sending a “message”back!🙏🏾💕

Oh sherry! When I read this...I someone remembered one of my late night thoughts.

God doesn't have gender. But if they had one...shouldn't it be a she? Because masculine doesn't have the power of creation right? Only feminine does.

Because all other religions call them "messengers of God" (I think)...and in Hinduism God - source doesn't have a gender. He/she/they just are. And the other "gods" we have are simply manifestations for human beings to perceive the divine better.

It of course led me to a whole rabbit hole lol.

But it was fascinating to think about it

This post right here is why we are friends. I wonder the same things all the time looking up at the sky as a child. And even now still as an adult.

One time in first grade I was on the school bus and I think I actually got the answer to all this. Not in words but a feeling and visual in my head. That looping question of well what's next what's next what's next. It was this feeling of being outside of my body and traveling in (what I now know to be) different dimensions. Traveling through space, time and energy.

Now I can see what quantum physics teaches -everything is energy, vibration.

We would have been buddies and first grade, now and in another dimension. You get it/me.😉
