The Rabbit Hole 🕳🐇 issue no.53

re-enchantment, murmurations, cosmic consciousness

every week, Patricia Mou hand-picks the most psychoactive internet rabbit holes that explore this question: What does it mean to live a life of meaning and beauty?

feeling like this composition lately

good afternoon! 🌱

i’ve been wrapping up the school semester the last few weeks. the theme has been digestion, de-complexifying, making more continual contact with reality, the here and now - a very simple thing that’s constantly being overlaid with fervent meaning-making. the theoretical bloat built up in the last 3 months has rendered me feeling quite pregnant with nonsensical pulsations. my sole telos is to simply let what’s within froth and bubble out of my system like a gusher.

in that spirit, i curated todays issue in a frame of metabolization as opposed to consumption. a primal sort of filtering that magnified the disco ball of inclinations dancing inside of me. i hope you find your streams of light in the unfolding :)

yours,

Patricia
