I pray that I laugh as loud as I can and with my whole belly and that I swim in the ocean and wash my own back. I pray that I will never stop running my hands over my hips and singing to myself and taking myself on walks. I pray that I will cook lots of things in my big back pot and that I burn my tongue because I\u2019m too excited to eat them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make it so that my sister is never afraid of telling people to fuck off and I am never afraid of crying out loud. Make it so that we drink everything out of wine glasses and that the only fabric around us is velvet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I pray that this world turns in on itself and wraps up like a big donut. I pray that people only live for pleasure and kiss everyone on the mouth. I pray that there can be clear rivers for people to swim in and that everyone drinks wine till four in the morning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May the thoughts of my head and words of my mouth be heard and accepted by you, Creator or the Universe. <em>Omayn<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drawing: Amelia Pressman, 2021<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":462,"featured_media":145,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7,1],"tags":[],"geo":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/tmtaa-portfolio-w21-amelia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/tmtaa-portfolio-w21-amelia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/tmtaa-portfolio-w21-amelia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/tmtaa-portfolio-w21-amelia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/462"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/tmtaa-portfolio-w21-amelia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/tmtaa-portfolio-w21-amelia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":210,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/tmtaa-portfolio-w21-amelia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143\/revisions\/210"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/tmtaa-portfolio-w21-amelia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/tmtaa-portfolio-w21-amelia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/tmtaa-portfolio-w21-amelia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/tmtaa-portfolio-w21-amelia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
