i am becoming the woman i want to know
the woman who values truth
the woman who drinks in beauty everywhere - puddles, piles of sticks, sadness, the sky
the woman who gives and receives
the woman who isn't afraid to reveal
the woman who feels God at her shoulder - not admonishing, not vengeful, but the God who is love
the woman who sees creativity as an expression of that love and practises it everyday - sometimes just in the way she puts on her clothes or bluffs that her messy unbrushed hair is supposed to look like that...
the woman who is has friends who are true and rich of spirit (and if you are here reading this, know you are counted in this)
the woman who is learning what shit is hers and what shit is others
the woman who delights in a good swearword
the woman who feels silly as something she has earned
the woman who claims her right to stand on this beautiful, confounding, magnificent, miracle-filled planet and breathe deeply
and walk on
And what a beautiful woman you are!!!

ReplyDeleteYou always were the kind of woman I wanted to know, and I just love that woman you are....sacred, holy, sassy, reverent and irreverent...
in fact, the kind of woman you want to know is the kind of woman I want to be.
Thank you Jane. For a beautiful post from a beautiful heart within a beautiful woman.
