~~ Imagine A Woman ~~

Imagine a woman who believes it is right
And good she is a woman,
A woman who honours her experience 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 own needs and desires
And then meets them with tenderness and grace.

Imagine a woman who believes she belongs to the world,
A woman who celebrates her own life;
Who is glad to be alive.

Imagine a woman who has acknowledged
The pasts influence on the present,
A woman who has walked through her past,
Who has healed into the present.

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 as a trustworthy companion
And its rhythms and cycles as an exquisite resource.

Imagine a woman who embraces her sexuality as her own,
A woman who delights in pleasuring herself,
Who experiences all of her erotic feelings
And sensations without shame or guilt.

Imagine a woman who honours the face
Of the goddess in her own changing face,
A woman who celebrates the accumulation
Of her years and her wisdom,
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 own image and likeness,
Who designs her own spirituality
And allows it to inform her daily 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 a shameless woman who is full of herself,
A powerful woman who has awakened
To the truth about herself,
A courageous woman who has assumed
Her rightful place beside men,
A wise woman whose beliefs about herself
Are reflected in her relationships.

Acknowledge yourself as this woman.
