Who is Changing Woman? Crone Woman? Wise Woman?
When you encounter her, you feel safe and also tread lightly.
She holds a fierce boundary because she’s learned to hold hands with death in the waking heart palpitations and night sweats.
She knows her time is limited and she has work yet to be done.
Gazing at the theater of life with a twinkle in her eyes, she is no longer engaged in the frenzy.
Rather, she enjoys the show and the parade passing by.
Her wisdom informs her the suffering of one person has no equal, and she honors that with deep listening.
She has seen death a thousand times, held a loved one’s hand while they grasped death’s soft grip with the other, as he lifted them from here into the ancestors arms.
She’s held those ravaged by loss, witnessed the grieving lay their babies in the earth, and is no stranger to suffering.
She has seen war and nursed the damage personally.
She has felt deep hunger in her belly and survived.
She sees into the eyes and knows a person’s heart.
She speaks her truth with integrity.
The earth and its storms are her friends.
Slowly she is giving herself up to feed Mother Earth, who has nurtured and provided for her endlessly.
She is ever changing Changing Woman, and knows this now.
She is powerfully present in each moment.
Her humor heals everything in a flash.
Her ancestors reveal themselves to her as she gazes at the back of her hands.
Her bones speak to her of countless stories arising to be healed with her wisdom and grace.
In her dreams, and in whispers on the breeze, her ancestors show her the way home.
They give her the medicine they needed.
Her bones carry all of the wisdom of her lineage.
When you encounter her with respect, you know you will be okay.
