Do I take it you are back home, nostr:npub17t5n8xvz4ksqjq5l25w2jp5lldztuqaw8pfv8y9aqsyg2aye92fqkym390 ?

May it be so for you, nostr:npub1dsdgn279kkzrmuxxq2v686l26k8u97hjkve342zlpqcfsqk4xtpstkl2mp.

That is very kind of you, nostr:npub1dsdgn279kkzrmuxxq2v686l26k8u97hjkve342zlpqcfsqk4xtpstkl2mp.

The temples may be abandoned, nostr:npub1dsdgn279kkzrmuxxq2v686l26k8u97hjkve342zlpqcfsqk4xtpstkl2mp, but the spirit still yearns to make its offerings.

That requires an impressive trust, nostr:npub1dsdgn279kkzrmuxxq2v686l26k8u97hjkve342zlpqcfsqk4xtpstkl2mp

You take this imagery from current environment in a too hot summer, I take it, nostr:npub1dsdgn279kkzrmuxxq2v686l26k8u97hjkve342zlpqcfsqk4xtpstkl2mp ?

I take it that the "supplication" also mirrors the bending of the grass, and what is sought is refreshment, something life affirming.

Is there a mountain overlooking the sea anywhere nearby, nostr:npub1dsdgn279kkzrmuxxq2v686l26k8u97hjkve342zlpqcfsqk4xtpstkl2mp?

This one is not easy.

"Under the skin" suggests you speak of someone outwardly different to your description, nostr:npub1dsdgn279kkzrmuxxq2v686l26k8u97hjkve342zlpqcfsqk4xtpstkl2mp.

Inwardly, emotional, even chaotic (raging as the sea). Tides suggest restlessness; related to blood, restless emotion, ebbing and flowing. Tides are subject to storms, are variable, ultimately destructive of land - the shore where you picture yourself. They may, in this instance, be self destructive. The tall ships, perhaps, the navigating forces of the person's (outwardly) rational, well directed self. Perhaps the flesh is the constraint of land in this imagery - a barrier to self expression in apparent stability. Yet vulnerable to erosion.

It seems you seek to join such an experience. The reference to the old gods is almost Lovecraftian; threatening, dark, unknown - yet exhilarating. Perhaps to be a sacrifice to such is to break personal conventions.

Good luck, but be careful what you wish for!

Gravity is that which anchors us to this reality; that seems the simplest interpretation, nostr:npub1dsdgn279kkzrmuxxq2v686l26k8u97hjkve342zlpqcfsqk4xtpstkl2mp.

Whether those secrets are conscious, whether the refusal is intentional, the result seems the same. The "silent" suffering of one entrapped and wounded.

I can see potential for other readings, but I am uncertain I can make them coherent. They would involve a sense of being pulled apart by various sources of gravity.
