Once upon a time (I like fairy tales and stories in
general), my voice was stifled…
It did not flow freely. I was unable to access my
feelings or express my emotions. I wasn’t sure who I was or what I was doing
here. I admit I am far from perfect. In fact, I still work on it everyday.
Everyday I am challenged to dig deeper within myself, to express even more
clearly and articulately. Everyday I am challenged to become more aware of
myself and face my struggles.
Walking the path of deep self-awareness is no easy
undertaking. I’ve wanted to step away from this life. It has been that
difficult. And one of the most incredibly healing and supportive things that I
have done for myself is seek out women who are on a similar path.
I feel strongly that women need to support one
another and be witnessed by one another. I also feel strongly that writing is
one pathway to creating the lives of our dreams. Every authentic voice is
needed before our world can truly be a place of complete peace and joy. Life knows this.
Life That Knows
Damp dewy
earth
beneath my
feet.
the clouds
roll in
and I sink to
greet
the taste of
grass
between my
toes
heavens scent
of Life that
knows.
Let yourself
grow
wild and free
like
tall wild
grasses that
reach your
knee.
Let the wind
move you
and dance you
and be
in the space
of
your
divinity.
