Thaissa, I cannot tell you how much I needed to read this post, to escape my own head. Thank you.
I really love how you highlight that uncertainty should not be seen as a problem but rather a sign that things are moving in a right direction...after all we can never really be too certain of anything.
Thank you my friend, for these beautiful musings, your engaging presence, and THOSE FLOWERS!!🌹
-- I’m truly moved by your words. It means a lot to know that the post provided a meaningful escape and resonated with you when needed. Your recognition of uncertainty as a positive sign in the journey is deep; indeed, it often heralds growth and movement toward the right direction. Thank you, my friend, for appreciating the musings and engaging with my presence. I’m glad the flowers brought an extra touch of beauty. Grateful for our connection and the shared reflections. Wishing you moments of clarity and peace amidst life’s uncertainties. ❤️🔥 xo.
This is one of the best explanations of intention and purpose I have seen. This may be my favourite essay (and not just because you mentioned me, thank you for that, xox).
I appreciate the gentle approach and the wide lens through which you view your faith. Just because it’s a cornerstone of your life doesn’t mean it requires a firm hand.
-- Oh, I’m honored that you consider it one of your favorites. Mentioning you was my pleasure, and it’s amazing to hear that the warm approach and broad perspective on faith were meaningful for you. It’s true, a cornerstone in one’s life doesn’t always demand a firm hand; sometimes, it’s about the delicate balance and the openness to embrace its nuances. Thank you sincerely for your heartfelt feedback, Donna. ❤️🔥 xo.
-- Rolando, knowing that you found the post amazing and appreciated the beauty of the roses brings immense joy. Your thoughtful acknowledgment adds a special touch to the connection we share here on this platform. Thank you sincerely for your kindness. ❤️🔥 xo.
Thank you. I'm grateful for the opportunity to read your posts, which are always full of knowledge and depth. As for roses, my grandfather was a gardener, so I know what I'm talking about. Warmly, Rolando
-- Once again, I appreciate your nice words about my writing. It’s wonderful to hear about your connection to gardening through your grandfather. I always think of gardeners as the kindest, most meticulous souls. ❤️🔥 xo.
A wonderful exploration of faith, Thaissa. I really enjoyed the way you explored this topic, in particular I liked the part about serendipity and synchronicity. :)
-- Thank you so much for your kind words and abiding presence, Michael! I’m thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the exploration of faith, and I appreciate your specific mention of the part about serendipity and synchronicity. It’s always rewarding to know that the nuances of these topics resonate with readers. Your appreciation means a lot to me. ❤️🔥 xo.
you not only summon beauty with heart and questing spirit but with practical hands that birth such roses wow i prefer synchronisticity to serendiptiy any day the latter is like a bus that may or may not show up the former exists without being summoned another deep read and i thought after the quote at start it was gonna be about sex (nOT that theres anything Wrong with that hahah) xo
-- Your words resonate deeply, and I’m genuinely touched by your thoughtful reflection, dear friend. The notion of summoning beauty with both heart and a questing spirit, coupled with practical hands that birth roses, captures the essence of the journey I try to embark on every day. I share your preference for synchronicity — it’s the dance of cosmic alignment, ever-present and flowing seamlessly, unlike the uncertain nature of serendipity. Your open-minded and spirited engagement truly enriches the dialogue. Thank you for being a part of this shared exploration.
Your anticipation and playful mention of the initial quote made me laugh; it’s a delightful reminder of the diverse avenues our thoughts can wander. Also, why don’t Florida people hit the cute little heart button? What a mystery! ❤️🔥 xo.
Sublime exposition. I love how you explain the interplay of various concepts - faith, intention and purpose, serendipity and synchronicity - and how all this makes use the beings we are. Overall, a wonderful piece, gentle yet deep thoughts ... and elegant writing.
-- Your generous words touch me deeply, Patrick, and I’m genuinely grateful for your thoughtful reflection. I’m delighted that the exposition resonated with you, capturing the interplay of faith, intention, purpose, serendipity, and synchronicity. It warms my heart to know that the piece struck a chord as a reflection of the bountiful beings we are. Thank you for your kindness and for connecting with the essence of the piece. ❤️🔥 xo.
Thaiss, your reflection on faith, intention, and purpose is deeply moving. The way you intertwine your personal journey with universal themes speaks volumes about your introspective nature and your ability to articulate complex concepts with clarity and depth. Your words invite readers, including myself, to pause and contemplate the marvels hidden within everyday experiences, fostering a deeper appreciation for the intricacies of life. Thank you for sharing your insights and inviting us to explore the marvelous within the ordinary alongside you.
-- Thank you deeply for your thoughtful reflection on my essay, Arty. Your recognition of the intertwining of personal and universal themes warms my heart. It’s immensely gratifying to know that my words resonate and encourage contemplation. Your words inspire me to continue exploring the profound within the mundane and to share the journey with fellow seekers of life’s intricacies. Gratitude for joining me on this reflective voyage. ❤️🔥 xo.
It always takes me a couple reads to get through your pieces. That’s the best compliment I can give. There’s so much depth that each read presents something new.
There was such a feeling of ~groundedness~ in this. Especially that third paragraph. Intention as a compass. Purpose to urge you on.
Purpose is a tough one. I often go looking for it, wavering one way or another, when in reality all I have to do is reach out to what I already know. Hope all is well 🙂
-- Thank you deeply for your thoughtful words! I’m honored that my pieces resonate with you and offer layers to uncover with each read. Finding that sense of ‘groundedness’ and allowing intention to be a guiding compass can indeed be transformative. The journey to discover purpose is a universal quest, often found in the depths of what we already know. I appreciate your reflections, and I hope your path is filled with clarity and fulfillment. ❤️🔥 xo.
"a mastered devotion isn’t merely a component of life; it’s a steadfast companion, influencing the lens through which I see the world, molding my responses, and ultimately enriching the very fabric of my being." I love this - it is the devotion, a commitment to experiencing the world through a steadfast belief that creates the lens that guides the overall experience. So so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
-- Whitney, your presence here is truly valued, and your perspectives on life and its various mediums consistently resonate with me. I often witness the transformative power that accompanies a committed belief, shaping our worldview and embodying personal growth. Our ability to articulate these thoughts adds layers of depth and inspiration to the realities that surround us. Thank you sincerely for sharing your view; your words have made a meaningful impact on me. ❤️🔥 xo.
I have been reflecting on writing as an act of faith so much recently. In the micro and the macro--I show up every day and the intuition, the god inside, reveals itself to me. Reminds me of my sacredness and value--and of everyone else's. On a bigger scale, my work requires patience. Belief. I've never had to dig so deep to keep going. But the work feels like a partner: what I give it, it gives me back tenfold, even if that affirmation is only internal for now. And yet: I see it externalizing here. What a gift it has been to share a space with people who take the time to offer similar reflections. I am grateful for your thoughts, always. Thank you.
-- This is such a bountiful comment, dear Isabel! Your reflections on writing as an act of faith resonate deeply, creating a testament that intertwines the micro and macro aspects of every inward journey. The recognition of intuition as the divine within is a keen revelation that echoes the transformative power of perseverance. Witnessing the externalization of this commitment is a remarkable gift that can elaborate on the facets of self-discovery.
I agree, sharing this space with fellow souls offering similar reflections adds a communal dimension to the solitary act of creation. Your gratitude for these shared thoughts is equally reciprocated. May your journey continue to be illuminated by the divine spark within, guiding you through the depths of your work. Thank you for expressing your insights and enriching this space. ❤️🔥 xo.
This writing unfolds, with all the subtle nuances and beauty of those roses!
“Miracles…They are the whispers of the extraordinary, reminding us that the boundaries of what is possible are far more expansive than we might comprehend.” —wow, Thaissa, that is nice!
-- Thank you so much for your kind words, Sea! I’m thrilled that the writing unfolded for you with the subtleties and beauty akin to those roses. Your appreciation for the quote warms my heart. Miracles truly are the whispers of the extraordinary, pushing the boundaries of what we perceive as possible. Grateful for your thoughtful response. ❤️🔥 xo.
-- Your kind words mean a lot, Paolo. I’m glad you found the reflections insightful. Indeed, within the simplicity of roses, the warmth of the sun, and the clarity we seek, lies the essence of our journey. Thank you for appreciating these thoughts. Wishing you an abundance of inner roses, sunlit moments, and enduring clarity. ❤️🔥 xo.
