This was so achingly beautiful Maaike. I have been recently thinking about my own relationship to ritual since I've put some distance between myself and the religion of my upbringing, but have such a longing for it. Your meditation on swallowing and love and God and ritual really made me feel - thank you. (Also, I love Christian Wiman! My Bright Abyss is one of my favorite essay collections)
I need to read this a 1000 times. Selfishly I want this in a recording from you. I don't know exactly what precisely this unlocked but something about the entirety of this piece made me want to just hug someone something... the depth of feeling, I want to say I love it but I'm not sure love describes it. Thank you.

There’s something so intimate and universal about this painting, the oceanic flux of it. I read this whole thing slack-jawed. You are magic.

This made me cry. Love every word.
