Nuanced nourishment. I love this expression. My mom taught me to engage with objects like this, and now it has a name. Thank you, Shiloh. I also like to think of it as, accentuating experiences. It’s the way I interact with things which is really doing things with intention. Colin does this too.
I’m going to my journal soon so I’ll share a few things here before I go. I do this with: how I walk into rooms in my house. I talk to my house with appreciation and say good morning to the morning. I love to talk to sunlight and rainbows.
When putting on jewelry and clothes…
…watering and talking to plants.
I say hello and goodbye when I enter and leave my office.
I’m always in conversation with things and places. My mom is verbally expressive and describes how she tends to things, what she’s putting into what she’s doing. It’s really infusing activities with intention. I learned from her to be in the moment and notice how soothing warm soapy water feels or to tune into the texture of folding a soft towel. Living like this makes life enjoyable. There’s pleasure to be found in how a pen feels when you write in smooth paper or how a wooden spoon feels in my mouth when tasting what I’m stirring.
When Colin and I went out to choose our flatware for our bridal registry, he brought a soup bowl and water to test how the weight of the spoon felt balanced in his hand. Colin’s into sensuality too.
Most things Colin and I do, we do artistically because we like aesthetics. Like how we cut broccoli and arrange smoked paprika on top of eggs. It’s the worst when someone rushes us along to do something faster. I’ll always remember being told at my bridal shower that I was taking too long to unwrap my gifts. I held my ground and did what felt right. I didn’t want to rush through it. That was 18 years ago and I still feel mildly pissed off when I go back to that moment. I can see myself sitting crossed legged and barefoot on a huge ottoman, serenely separating the scotch tape from the paper as I opened my gifts. I remember what I wore that day and love to wear that blouse!! I chose a blouse that I’d have a lifetime to wear now and again.
There’s beauty to be seen and pleasure to be experienced when thinking about how you’re doing things and the intention you put into what you’re doing. This is what makes life rich and meaningful for me.
Thanks for the transmissions Shiloh!! Enjoy your time in Kentucky with your friends!! Stay safe and warm. Brightest blessings to you and Jonathan 💖
Ah yes!!!! I look for this everywhere. In my Regenerative Creativity Cycle, this is part of the Beauty phase and I believe is essential to gain the Vitality needed to create from an overflowing cup. One super weird one I do is place my hands, palms facing out, over my eyes and wiggle my fingers. I told my husband I think I’m connecting with my amoeba ancestors when I do it 😂. It just makes me happy, like I’m sensing energy through my eyes with my hand antennas. There, beat that for weird
