Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted for desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

- Robert Frost

Woman Church
 

It's time for Women Church.

Here, we enter the pews
in our hearts
and listen to the sermon or our hips.

We worship the holy trinity:
Maiden , Mother , Crone

The softness of our bodies is our primary temple,
we revere curves and plentifulness
and dance to celebrate it , if we like.

Our sacrament is seconds on everything we desire
and here we heap our plates.

We delight in the holy doctrine of supporting deep nourishment
and singing sacred praise to our sisters.

We tell our stories and braid each others hair
while we pray
sitting in a circle
announcing our power,
our tenderness,
our beauty,
our voices,
our grief.

We invite the ancestors in for tea
and bring all cast-out feelings in from the cold.

We paint pictures of goddess relaxing and taking
a much needed break
while gods massage her feet
with oils and feed her grapes.

-Chelan Harkin

Lyrics from Son Of A Sinner, that are applying to me currently.

I never get lonely, I get these ghosts to keep me company, I took the rearview off this old Ford, So I only see in front me of.

"We can't, we're afraid!" they responded.

And so they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.”

No matter how many times I read this - it is always timely and true. It is a good reminder to everyone.

“The most fundamental aggression to ourselves, the most fundamental harm we can do to ourselves, is to remain ignorant by not having the courage and the respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently.” ― Pema Chödrön

"Finding yourself" is not really how it works. You aren't a ten dollar bill in last winter's coat pocket. You are not lost. Your true self is right there, buried under cultural conditioning, other people's opinions, and inaccurate conclusions you drew as a child and adult that became your beliefs about who you are. "Finding yourself" is actually returning to yourself. An unlearning, an excavation, a remembering of who you were before the world got it's hands on you" - Anonymous

“People tend to be resentful when you refuse to lower your standards or join their misery.” ― Efrat Cybulkiewicz
