Imagine A Woman In Love With Herself

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
her body's 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.
