Rea, this feels like a quiet truth ..the kind that doesn’t scream, but stays.

That no matter how close we come to someone, there will always be a sacred part of them we’re not meant to enter.

And maybe that’s what keeps love alive —the mystery that never ends.🙏🏼

Just like the sacred parts in us that nobody can enter. Thank you for acknowledging this truth, Dora. <3 <3

Flashing kaleidoscopes // Of undisclosed dreams // Haunt their thoughts.

Yeah, we can never quite get in the minds of others and understand the pain that haunts them. Nice one Rea.

Thank you, Josh! It's a closed book to us.

The mystery keeps the soul entwined, there is beauty in the unknowing and a longing for more.

Beautifully crafted Rea, beautifully shared and beautifully done.

The inevitable unknowable thoughts of people you're close with is a potent theme. Reminds me of the lyrics of Entre Nous by Rush a little bit.

I just read the lyrics. You’re right. Beautiful words. Thank you, Ellis.

Yes we forget the beauty of this, don't we? There is so much unknowable and that is the mystery of the sacred.
