No Roots More Intimate

July 17, 2025

Today I came across these few words by Rupi Kaur. They reverberated with a long moment of resounding silence that welled up in recognition from my core and engulfed me. It is repeating in me still, a faint and nameless melody drifting on the strings of love. I hope it does the same for you.

it was when i stopped searching for home within others
and lifted the foundations of home within myself
i found there were no roots more intimate
than those between a mind and body
that have decided to be whole

I loved coming across that. It was a busy moment of my day but I let it take me right in, deep. Isn’t it amazing when the noise stops, dear one?

With love,
Mayet
