My Mother discovered this poem and gifted these words to me. It continues to be one of the greatest, most empowering gifts of my life. Each time I read it a deeper, richer, even more nourishing meaning is revealed to me. I want every woman to receive this gift.
Thank you, Mama xo
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 celebrated her body and it's 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.
