Imagine a Woman

by

Imagine a woman who believes it is right and good she is a woman.
A woman who honors her experience and tells her stories.
Who refuses to carry the sins of others within her body and life.Imagine a woman who trusts and respects herself.
A woman who listens to her needs and desires.
Who meets them with tenderness and grace.Imagine a woman who acknowledges the past’s influence on the present.
A woman who has walked through her past.
Who has healed into the present.

Imagine a woman who authors her own life.
A woman who exerts, initiates, and moves on her own behalf.
Who refuses to surrender except to her truest self and wisest voice.

Imagine a woman who names her own gods.
A woman who imagines the divine in her image and likeness.
Who designs a personal spirituality to inform her daily life.

Imagine a woman in love with her own body.
A woman who believes her body is enough, just as it is.
Who celebrates its rhythms and cycles as an exquisite resource.

Imagine a woman who honors the body of the Goddess in her changing body.
A woman who celebrates the accumulation of her years and her wisdom.
Who refuses to use her life-energy disguising the changes in her body and life.

Imagine a woman who values the women in her life.
A woman who sits in circles of women.
Who is reminded of the truth about herself when she forgets.

Imagine yourself as this woman.

A Story…

by

A woman was walking down a road, and she came upon a badly injured snake, a variety she knew was poisonous; but she knew if she left it it would likely die.  So she took it home, made it a nest, cleaned its wounds, fed it and gave it water.  The snake slowly began to recover and she actually started to really care for the snake.  Every day he got stronger and they developed a friendship (this is a story, so snakes can talk!).  He was almost fully recovered when the woman came to check on him, and he lunged at her and bit her in her arm injecting his poisonous venom.  She was stunned.  “How could you do that?, she asked.  I took you in, I took care of you, I cleaned your wounds, I saved your life”.  “What did you expect?, he replied.  “I’m a snake”.
