The ManifeSto
the somatic pleasures of domestic life
private delights felt inside
(((body)))
(((home)))
daily domiciliary ceremonies
sacraments that bring you back to yourself
god is in the details
religion is in the rituals
prayer is in the patterns
pleasure in piety
devotion in domesticity
brushing your hair
washing fine china
lighting candles
rearranging furniture
setting the table
sewing a button
amateur flower arrangements
letting the laundry pile up
your cat sitting on your lap
walking around like you own the place
raindrops on the window
praying at your bedside
looking at your face so long in the mirror it doesn’t seem real
playing dress up
dancing alone in your room
crying alone in your room
raging alone in your room
kinkeeping & gathering
privacy & aloneness
shadow puppets
whispered truths to yourself,
trembling at their earnestness
broken shelves
diary pages
drawing the bath
drawing the curtains
humming (your voice)
humming (electric cars & recycling bins outside)
listening to your neighbors through the wall
stoking the fireplace
stoking your daydreams
long summer days
long winter nights
long afternoon naps
where the keys hang
where the shoes go
sticky notes
