The Ephemeral Beauty of the First Flickers of Friendship

Mariah Loves Earth, Life under the Sky , 2019 I’m sitting outside on this beautiful sunny day contemplating the ephemeral beauty of new friendships. This life-giving essence does not occur with all friendships— it is a rarity —but when it does arise it’s a magical experience; you feel as though your brain's neurons have lit up like a Las Vegas slot machine that has just landed on three red cherries.

About Me

 


Hi lovely blog visitors! I am grateful that you have chosen to be here. My name is Mariah, I am Canadian, and I have wanted to start a blog for a while. After graduating from university, I came to realize that I no longer had an outlet for my writing. My major was Sociology and my minor Religious Studies (primarily Eastern religions) so an intense amount of paper writing was involved! I am passionate about many things in life and I love to share my passions with others through writing. All writing and images are my own unless otherwise stated. 

My posts will address some of my favourite topics such as Zen Buddhism, rock climbing, painting, reading, travelling, and self-care. Although, I am certain that posts about many more topics will appear overtime. You could say that I am a jack of many trades! I am an optimist at heart who could not narrow down what I love so I decided to call my blog Mariah Loves Earth.
