I wonder what feeds me

 

I am fed by transformation and the process of unearthing my demons. I am fed by the feeling of growing closer and closer to myself; of telling the truth and letting go of everything else.  When I am fed, I feel  as big as the universe. What does hugeness feel like?

 

It is like invincibility, and flying. Like no person, event or circumstance is threatening. 

 

I believe that being and doing are not opposed; they are the same thing. Their antithesis, anything that blocks the flow of energy and movement.

 

 

I am fed by a flame and by empty walls, and by a story that is colorful and confusing. 

 

I am fed by the mere thought of humanity in places I have never been. 

 

I am fed by the way life circles back around itself. When old friends and lovers re-enter, revealing what has and hasn’t changed. 

 

I am fed by being fully submerged in the narrative of my life. And by the intimate relationships I can have with songs, rainfalls, and neighborhood streets, so that I am never alone.

My name is Raha and I am an Iranian-Canadian resident of the United States of America.  You can contact me here: raha . behnam (at) gmail.com.  If you’d like to receive occasional newsletters and updates about things I am working on, you can subscribe below:
