my entry to DTIYS by katwhitart on instagram
Hera can be found in the encouraging text from your mother, or a family meal.
Apollo can be found in the playlist of your favourite songs, or a sunny day.
Athena smiles every time you learn something new,
and Dionysus cheers when you pop that bottle.
Hestia welcomes you with open arms when you come home after a long day.
A piece of Demeter can be found in every bit of nature around you.
Hermes walks with you, no matter where you go,
and when you gaze at the moon, Artemis gazes back.
Once you know how to look for the divine, you are never truly alone.
