Where did you find the picture of the crying Madonna? The expressed pain is somehow so beautiful and I'd love to print it in a good quality to hang it home :)
The photo with the two persons watching the sunset also moved me... It is just "another picture" of two people watching the sun... But somehow It made me feel this universal feeling, as if I was there... A kind of timelessness... A shared moment spent together watching the setting sun, with its mind opening ability, full of life and power... A moment in connection with another soul, that could and can and will happen over and over again at any epoch, any place, any life phase... A moment unfolding simultaneously in the physical world and in the realm of universal consciousness... It made me feel as if all the moments ever of people watching a sunset in silent communion were linked, acting like a constant, like an anker in the chaos of life.
Might sound like a bit too much but that's really how it made me feel 😅
your way of describing the sensations you felt is so… elegant. that’s exactly the kind of response i was hoping for when i was writing this piece. for a reader to able to look beyond the image and tap into the emotional frequency of the medium. it reignites my hope that there are others who feel the same as i do.
i just searched “crying madonna” on google and picked the image that resonate most with me! i’m sure there are prints you can procure if you dig deep enough!
"i like to believe that most of our encounters can hold meaning if we want them to. life feels more full to me that way." Loved this line!! And I totally agree with you. I like that you encourage readers to be more curious and open. At the end of the day, experience is the most valuable asset we can have because it makes us who we are and forms our fundamental beliefs. Thanks for sharing, Alan!
This was fantastic, this line in particular was so masterful and deeply resonant. “every single person you meet is a living, breathing gallery with years of unique experiences. “

so beautiful, Alan! i also love the ending reminder "emotion and logic co-exist instead of one always needing to reign over the other." so good.

The “living galleries” line really stayed with me.
This felt honest in how it wrestles with intuition, chemistry, and self-respect without trying to tie it up neatly.
