The fires are burning
So reach for me
Like the petals of a rose
Bloom in it’s season
Gentle and slow
My body is the mountain
The ocean, the river
The sand and the soil
The life giver
So come on now, my friend
Speak to me
Help me understand
Let us walk together
Take my hand
And we will heal this land
We will heal this land
Do you hear the call?
We will heal this land
If you could only believe

She is his Helper; she is Wisdom—the Spiritual Law written (not on stone tablets like the Ten Commandments) but on the very heart of Christ. The woman in Revelation 12 is the actual image of God’s everlasting covenant.
My child, keep my words and store up my commandments with you; keep my commandments and live, keep my teachings as the apple of your eye; bind them on your fingers, write them on the tablet of your heart. Say to wisdom, “You are my sister.”
“In speaking of ‘a new covenant,’ he has made the first one obsolete. And what is obsolete and growing old will soon disappear” (NRS Heb. 8:13). But in Revelation John is seeing something quite different. He is witnessing the opening of the true temple… and what he sees inside is not an empty room with an obsolete stone covenant; instead, he is shown God’s Living and Spiritual Covenant–the Holy Spirit:
Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple; and there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail. A great portent appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun. (Rev. 11:19- 12:1)
We speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.” (1 Cor.2: 4-7)
“you want to keep
the blood and the milk hidden
as if the womb and breast
never fed you”

“I call them:
my sisters, goddesses and the moon.
I tell them they glow more radiant
with each passing spring and monsoon.
We have loved each other through the pain, through the forests of crueler hearts
and refused to tear each other apart,
even though we were all taught in subtle ways
from an early age
to hate one another.
We defy it by naming each other holy.
Defend one another with a primal fury.
Tell ourselves, our daughters and our mothers,
together, we will write better stories to tell.
Oceans to love.
Skies to fly.”

She who walks with Dogs
She presented herself in finest vulnerability.
She allowed the essence to touch her soul,
Reminding herself, why it must go.
“She’s in between worlds right now.
A part of her is leaving.
But it’s not like before.
She’s holding space this time.
Not sweating it, but breathing beyond her skin.
She’s good.
She’s even shape-shifting.
The raven.
The owl.
She’s unafraid of the bird’s-eye view.
And unlike all those other times, she isn’t scared of the unknown.
She’s present and neither timid nor bold.
It feels beautiful like the song of a blackbird.
And powerful like the rumble of an avalanche.”

Let her cry, for she’s a lady
Let her dream, for she’s a child
She is Maiden, Mother and Crone
In one…
You will recognize her because she
makes genuine eye contact with whomever she meets…
She is not afraid to be direct and honest about how she feels
She charts her own course
And is willing to meet whatever comes
Because she has faith in her journey
She’s aware of her own strength
She delights in enabling the wellbeing and the empowerment of others
But she refuses to subject herself to energy drainers…
She sees through bullshit instantly
She knows how to protect herself
She is obedient to her own inner knowing,
She is willing to break the rules made by others
in order to be authentic to herself
Her truth comes directly through her heart
She uses her mind as the servant to manifest it
She is inwardly and outwardly aware
She responds more than she reacts
She no longer waters illusory drama
She no longer feels the need to control what is
She is deeply connected to her creative source
She is her own work of art in progress
She can create beauty from whatever is in front of her
She is in tune with her intuition and instinctual body
She lives in the present
Because she is willing to relinquish the past
And allow the future the space it needs to unfold
She understands that life is an ever changing flow from one moment to the next…
She willingly goes with it.
She feels deeply connected to the earth and stays close to nature,
She recognizes that she is not separate from it…
Being connected to nature is essential for her health and wellbeing
She has simplified her life
Released the non-essentials so that she can be spacious and free
She values her aloneness,
She waters her soul with it
But she also
values quality time with like minded souls
She doesn’t need a man to complete her
Her relationships are on an equal basis of respect and sharing
Unbridled sensual pleasure…
She has no time for gossip
She’s invested in raising the sisterhood up rather than cutting it down
She celebrates the beauty and power in other women
She celebrates the beauty and power within herself
She is just as willing to receive as she is to give
She fills her own cup for herself and overflows it for others
She understands the futility of unsolicited advice
So she shares her wisdom through living it
She envisions the healing of the world
She offers her gifts as a contribution towards it
Love is her religion
Unity is her gospel
Laughter is her grace
She loves to play through her inner child
Sing and dance through her inner maiden
She nurtures her body mind and spirit daily through her inner mother
Others seek her for her wisdom
Are irresistibly drawn to her unpredictable mystery
They feel seen and accepted in her steady gaze…
Peaceful in her sacred space
They are shocked by her irreverent humor
But secretly inspired, uplifted,
Given permission to be themselves
She is Maiden, Mother and Crone
In one
She is Goddess
