I AM WOMAN by Rebecca DeLeo

As my manifesto, "I AM WOMAN" unearths my journey as an intrepid goddess of flesh and blood...

It is my will to nourish the seeds of goddesshood within every woman's garden. Sisters, may we always follow the omniscient pulse of our womanhood!

I AM WOMAN

by Rebecca DeLeo

I am Mother Earth, the Creatrix.

I am the Mother of the Cosmos, the High Priestess.

The gateway to God lies between my towering pillars of ecstatic surrender.

The scarlet brine that flows from my sap-soaked temple is an ever-nourishing spring of esoteric wisdom.

My elixirs, furiously coursing through my beating temple, are the nectars of eternal life.

Part the Red Sea, and dissolve into your Dark Mother.

Drink from me, for I am the Fountain of Youth.

Feed on my ripe fruits, for my womanhood is your source of life.

Cascade into me;

I am the raging inferno that ravages your ravenous soul.

Lose yourself in the Womb of the World;

You are mine to devour.

Within me, you disintegrate to reemerge.

I am She who gives you life.

I am She who gives you death.

I am the Maiden, the Waxing Moon.

I am the Mother, the Full Moon.

I am the Enchantress, the Waning Moon.

I am the Crone, the Dark Moon.

I am the Sacred Whore, the Holy Harlot.

I am the Seer, the Illuminatrix.

I am the Dark Goddess, the Veiled Mother of Mystery.

I am the Great Giver and the Great Receiver.

I am the Daughter of Dawn and the Mother of Dusk.

I am the Shekinah.

I am Shakti.

I am Woman.

IMAGINE A WOMAN by Patricia Lynn Reilly

This poem invites you to look upon yourself with loving kindness… Gazing at your own true reflection, you will discover that everything you have longed for “out there” is already within you! I invite you to love your creativity fiercely. Faithfully plant seeds, allowing under-the-ground dormant seasons, nurturing your creative garden with love and gratitude. In the fullness of time, the green growing things thrust forth from the ground. It's a faithful, trustworthy process. AND it takes time and patience. Blessed is the fruit of your creative womb! I invite you to trust your vision of the world and express it. With wonder and delight, paint a picture, create a dance, write a book, and make up a song. To give expression to your creative impulses is as natural as your breathing. Create in your own language, imagery, and movement. Follow no script. Do not be limited by the customary way things have been expressed. Your creative intuition is original. Gather

THE JOURNEY by Mary Oliver

Today we honor Mary Oliver (1936-2019) and all the words she left behind. May they inspire you on your journey! Excerpt from Mary Oliver’s book Long Life: Essays and Other Writings : "Poets must read and study... but, also, they must learn to tilt and whisper, shout, or dance, each in his or her own way, or we might just as well copy the old books. But, no, that would never do, for always the new self swimming around in the old world feels itself uniquely verbal. And that is just the point: how the world, moist and bountiful, calls to each of us to make a new and serious response. That's the big question, the one the world throws at you every morning. 'Here you are, alive. Would you like to make a comment?'" The Journey By Mary Oliver One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began, though the voices around you kept shouting their bad advice-- though the whole house began to tremble and you felt the old tug

STILL I RISE by Maya Angelou

Six years ago, I had the privilege of listening to Maya Angelou speak live on the value of poetry at the University of Florida. I share these reflections with you again today, in honor of her birthday. I was relieved to get one of the last seats available for this rare event, having arrived at five for Maya Angelou ’s free speech at eight. The historically long line began with people settled into beach chairs in winter coats busying themselves on tablets, or eating sandwiches for dinner. As helicopters hovered above and newscasters below, I felt the excitement of realizing that thousands of people were gathering together to hear an eighty four year old black woman recite her poetry! Maya Angelou speaking at University of Florida on Feb. 27, 2013 When the curtain rose -after an overflow of hundreds were sent away- we lucky ones on the inside greeted Maya with a standing ovation, as she smiled sweetly, beginning her talk using metaphors from nature. Maya asked that we
