Slowcore HQ

The slowcore quote of the day is more of a passage today.

Here goes:

“Most people’s lives are filled with mystery, but things move super fast nowadays and there’s not much time to sit and daydream and notice the mystery.

There are fewer places in the world now where you can see the stars in the night sky.

Trillions of stars. Trillions. It’s so powerful. And because we’re not seeing those stars we’re forgetting how grand the whole show is.”

From Room to Dream, by David Lynch

That’s a beautiful way to see life, and a possible one too! Animism is the belief that everything is alive and in relationship- us, other animals, plants and the “inanimate” worlds as well. They just communicate in ways different than the languages we speak so a different type of attune me to is needed to understand that. The Spell of the Sensuous Perception by David Abram is a frat book to get started on seeing life throughout this lens.

As to what it would’ve been like.. my guess is that a life paced by Nature would have a different rhythm, definitely more slow and conducive to listening to our inner seasonal changes. 🍂

I often wonder what it would have been like to live in a culture very close to nature and with the belief that everything around you — including rocks, rivers, and trees — are manifestations of spirit and crackling with consciousness. Imagine walking through a forest and seeing the world through those eyes.
