My place

My place. Boxpark. There are some spots in the world that you just feel like you own. Your dad's shoulder. The space next to your best friend. The bench at the park under your favorite tree. This staircase.

As humans, we are born naturally materialistic. To rise above our natural instincts, we have to fight our DNA and reach for the abstract concepts of joy through giving rather than acquisition. Instant gratification is like a drug though. And hence, when we view the world, alot of the time its through the lens of everything that we can brand as our own.. even the people in our lives are like assets gained and lost. 😊

Its difficult to remember the truth... the transience of the physical realm.. the ever after of the spiritual one. It requires a de-linkage from our long held beliefs of "if i can see, taste and touch, then its real". Its like having to believe in a higher power.. having faith in the unseen.. which many of us do on a daily basis because thats what we were taught.. but we forget that it applies to our wider existence as well.
Love doesnt lay its foundations on owning.. it lays them on giving. That's why it's so hard. It literally goes against the grain of human nature and tries to uplift the spirit from the material to the celestial by asking for selflessness and a lack of expectations.

There arent many souls alive that know how to love like love would like to be manifested.

Rise above.
