it's not very detailed but look at the postures of the animals. And the way the goslings are not very young but recognisable as gangly and halfway grown.

but i think i choose to look at religion primarily as a human practice. i love learning about religions regardless of what i believe. its something i find comfort in even if i dont fully buy into it, because to me theres something rlly beautiful abt the way humans have always found divinity, it seems irrelevant if that divinity is a literal entity or simply some kind of feeling. because isnt that feeling so beautiful?

i hope you can reconnect with god in whatever way makes sense to you. maybe it doesnt have to be as a literal thing, maybe it will be. but either way theres a million ways to engage with these ideas and im sure you'll find something that makes sense to you.
