BIGG,
the first time i met you was at a lily pond.
we floated in the middle and you sheltered me from the thoughts
that tell me i must believe what i see in their eyes about me.
i believe what i see in your eyes about me
we made plans for an adventure
reckless adventure impeccably planned
that’s me when im with you
that’s us.
and you’re always with me
you are and have always been
in the hands that teach me
the eyes that see me
the presence that steadies me
when i say i always come back what i mean is
you keep pulling me out of the ashes
watering the soil with my tears
remaking me
that’s how you taught me trust.
let’s talk about trust.
when i see no more light
and do not feel the ground beneath my feet
trusting you is all that is left
when i begin to blossom and i quake in fear at what it means
all that will be risked
and lost
and changed
and forgotten
trusting you is the first sustenance
you’re the reason and the mechanism by which i return
again and again
changed and the same
again and again
remembering every time i forget
that with you i never leave in the first place
you’re always here
all i need to do is
unclench my fists
fall
this text is quite personal and profound to me
so i will leave it here in one big block for you to experience in one go
and since we are on the topic
i write these texts (all the text on this website) in a kind of flow
as unedited as possible
intentionally
i focus on it and let it flow
i hope you enjoy it? i guess i hope you feel it actually
that’s more important than enjoying
i’ll add some projects below
think earth and clay
stereotomic lol
