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

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.

There are still some strands of this in Japanese Shinto beliefs and customs. Respect for sacredness has not yet been fully squashed by the modern world...

Writing sci-fi stories and other things too: markmcclure.xyz Casting in the word shallows.

And we can always tap into that again! Infusing our day to day with sacredness can be as simple as creating rituals that make us pause and appreciate things more deeply- making tea, pulling a Tarot card every morning, meditation or simply going on a walk with full awareness are accessible ways to get started.
