Imagine A Woman
Soon, via sacred mountains near San Francisco Bay, we’ll be exploring Freyja’s journey to the realm of the dwarves. When I read this poem today, written by Patricia Riley, it seemed very gonfiabili per bambini much to represent the kind of thinking that would occupy Freyja’s mind space as she dared such a journey. I wanted to share it with you, sending thanks also to Ocean, whose Deaf Pagan Crossroads is a frequent source of inspiration.
I am including an excerpt here – the full poem can be read on their site.
Imagine a Woman by Patricia Lynn Reilly
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 that 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 goddesses.
