IMAGINE A WOMAN
(Author unknown)
Imagine a woman who believes it is right and good she is a woman
A woman who honors her experiences and tells her stories
Who refuses to carry the sins of others within her body and life.
Imagine a woman who believes she is good
a woman who trusts and respects herself
who listens to her needs and desires, and meets them
with tenderness and grace.
Imagine a woman who has acknowledged 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 to her wisest voice.
Imagine a woman who names her own gods
a woman who imagines the divine in her image and likeness
who designs her own spirituality and allows it 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 her body and its rhythms and cycles as an exquisite resource.
Imagine a woman who honors the face of the Goddess in her changing face
A woman who celebrates the accumulation of her years and her wisdom
Who refuses to use precious 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.
