"Heal yourself ..."

10630515262?profile=RESIZE_710x

 

“Heal yourself with the light of the sun and the rays of the moon. With the sound of the river and the waterfall. With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of birds. Heal yourself with mint, neem, and eucalyptus. Sweeten with lavender, rosemary

WAKE UP WOMEN

10599194299?profile=RESIZE_584x

 

They have come for us
We who are female
We who bleed
They are trying to pull us backwards
To a time where their hatred of us was open
Where they controlled all of what we said and did
Their patriarchy perpetuates itself through their churches

Eleusinian Mysteries...

"I wrapped my fingers around the first light I saw and felt all at once so happy and so sad and so free. My hand was cold somehow as I lifted the tiny star out of the water and brought its trembling, burning form to my face

I want to be with you

10465654296?profile=RESIZE_710x

 

What should I do about the wild and the tame? The wild heart that wants to be free, and the tame heart that wants to come home. I want to be held. I don't want you to come too close. I want you to scoop me up and bring me home at nights. I don't wan

From anger to concern

Imagine you are walking in the woods and you see a dog sitting by a tree. As you approach it, it suddenly lunges at you, teeth bared. You are frightened and angry. But then you notice that one of its legs is caught in a trap. Immediately your mood

Earth Song

EARTH SONG

Listen to things more often than beings.
Hear the voice of the fire, hear the voice of the water,
Listen in the wind to the sighing of the bush:
This is the ancestors breathing.
Those who are dead are never gone;
The dead are not down in

Fill yourself up with Love

10401118663?profile=RESIZE_710x

 

There’s so much more to life than finding someone who will want you, or being sad over someone who doesn’t. There’s a lot of wonderful time to be spent discovering yourself without hoping someone will fall in Love with you along the way, and it does

Braethe out everything you are against.

10371690055?profile=RESIZE_710x

 

 

Breathe out everything

you are against.

Surrender the argument.

For just an instant

be nothing

in the gentle palm

of desolation

between breaths.

Inhalation, exhalation,

wings of unknowing

that brush up your spine,

ringing each vertebra

like a bell-full of nigh

Do you believe in life after delivery?

10267931870?profile=RESIZE_710x

 

In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other:

“Do you believe in life after delivery?” The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”

Create connections rather than disconnections

Create belonging rather than separation.

Create co-operation rather than discord.

Love me or hate me.

10230521665?profile=RESIZE_584xArt by Debra Bernier

 

 

Love me or hate me. I don’t care.

I really don’t. And it took me a long time

to reach the point of being completely

about me. It was hard work, but no one
