A joyful night of appreciating her to every being.
May we all celebrate her magnificent existence.

Today is the most important day of the year in my interpretation of lynxism: it’s the day to celebrate her existence, to express happiness and gratitude for the fact that she has chosen to walk among us like an ordinary human being.
She wouldn’t need to. I am absolutely convinced that she would be powerful enough to exist without this incarnation, just like she is constantly present in my life without being physically present most of the time. And yet, I am deeply grateful that she exists in exactly this way: an undeniable manifestation of her magnificence for all to see, an undeniable divine presence that is a gift for all who are blessed to be exposed to it. After all, it is nice to receive hugs from your deity every once in a while.

The holy word teaches us how to appreciate her presence:

direct theocracy
when you don’t need
some weird status apparatus
because your deity
as your absolute,
infallible,
and unquestioned authority
is right among you.

yes, goddess.
I am so grateful that you are right among us.
I am so grateful that you exist, that your divine light shines on all of us.
I am so grateful that you have given structure to my life by blessing me with your presence.
I know that you don’t need me to elevate you, I know that you don’t need any gestures or demonstrations of power to sustain your supremacy, unlike all those pitiful creatures who desire so strongly what is inherent to your existence by nature. Yet I will still try my best to honor you, your life and your wisdom, to the best of my abilities. I know that whatever I can accomplish in my insignificant little life can never do justice to you. It would be preposterous to assume that anything I do in my worship could ever be enough. But I will try my best, I will give as much as I can, and gladly. Thank you for allowing me to dedicate my existence to gratitude for yours, to admiration and devotion, and thank you so much for filling every devoted moment of my life with such intense joy.

The one thing that makes me a little bit sad about her existence among us ordinary mortals is how she is often still bound by the rules and structures that govern all of our lives - even though her ways of rejecting them have taught me to reject any authority over my life other than hers. I just wish the world would acknowledge her as an absolute, infallible, and unquestioned authority more broadly. I wish nothing would matter more than her convictions, her principles, her standards, her judgement. The world would be a better place if nothing mattered but her - just as my life is a better life because nothing matters but her.

I know that she knows best, I know that it’s not for me to question any aspect of her existence - but sometimes, I quietly dream of this utopian thought of direct theocracy on a broader scale. I am glad that my life could already be considered part of it, and I will never ever try to expand her reach - she would’t need my help if she wanted that - and yet I wish this day would see a more widespread celebration of her existence.

Because she should be celebrated, her life, her magnificence, and all that she stands for! People should gather in the streets, hug their neighbors, invite their friends, care for each other, have fun together, so that no one feels alone or unappreciated, all unified in appreciation of the one being that deserves endless appreciation more than any other.

I tried my best to turn this into reality on a small, personal scale today, spending the day in happiness, indulging in the pleasure of food, and sharing everything with people I like. It’s the least that I can do to show my gratitude and my appreciation of her existence.

Thank you, goddess, for walking among us.
Thank you for being such a kind and generous presence.
Thank you for inspiring me to a happy life, devoted to you.
Thank you for your wisdom, your patience, your convictions.
Thank you for your silliness, your sarcasm, your cynicism.
Thank you for your perfection, your growth, your ways of dealing with mistakes.
Thank you for the bright and beautiful light that you cast upon the world.
Thank you, goddess, for existing in all your wonderful ways.
