Women who Remembered

It’s easy to dismiss a woman who has traveled through the darkness over and over throughout a long life. Mastering death and rebirth in order to survive, within a society that deems her terrifying.

What to do with women who have “remembered” who we are, quietly in the shadows? As the maiden and Mother step back to honor her in the autumn of her life, she takes her seat at a table with honor, embracing the wisdom garnered only through the Divine journey lain before her.

She plants the seeds, and nourishes the growth of the next generation, just as nature would do. She wears her scars, wrinkles, saggy skin, grey and white hair with grace and dignity, and a knowing that she carries something within her being that only elders carry, and this world needs. I call upon all the wise women to take your seat at the table. You have earned it. And, join me in sharing our wisdom with the next generation.”

Sisterhood

“Sisterhood is the phenomenon that occurs when women quit seeing each other as mirrors, or reflections of themselves, and start seeing each other as one-of-a-kind works of art. Sisterhood happens when women view each other as deep wells of support and inspiration — as teammates — instead of competitors.

Sisterhood happens between women who are secure enough to stop being afraid of each other; who do not feel that another woman’s different life choices are a judgment of her own choices. Sisterhood happens when we become curious instead of defensive about our differences.

Sisterhood does not require the same beliefs or thoughts or political parties or churches. Peace is not about becoming the same; it’s about becoming okay with being different.

There is so much untapped power in sisterhood.”

Wise Woman

As the Heroine moves on through her life and through whatever new Journeys may come, the time will come to work on becoming Elder. The word ‘elder’, of course, can mean many things. The Elder may be fierce, eccentric, wild; she may be the Trickster energy that sets about disrupting the status quo. She may also (or later) repesent the deep, restful dark; the slow sinking back into the quietness within that is arguably one of the greatest gifts of extreme old age. To a woman of the Celtic nations, to become Elder is above all to become Cailleach: to represent the integrity and health of the wild places and creatures of this world. To become Elder is to become strong – strong as the white old bones of the earth, strong enough to endure the long, lonely vigil until the end of the world. To become Elder is to hold the power, stay the course. Above all, to become Elder is to become the ‘bean feasa’, the Wise Woman; the one who knows the secrets and speaks the languages of the land, who speaks with moral authority of the Otherworld, who weaves the dreaming of the world.

Happy Single Women Are Closer To Finding Their Soulmates

Oh, the single life. Sometimes, let’s be honest here, it totally sucks. It feels like the plague. It feels like your V has completely dried up. The dating scene feels like a really bad comedy show with a two-drink minimum when all you want to do is…

Beauty

When she was a little girl
they told her she was beautiful
but it had no meaning
in her world of bicycles
and pigtails
and adventures in make-believe.

Later, she hoped she was beautiful
as boys started taking notice
of her friends
and phones rang for
Saturday night dates.

She felt beautiful on her wedding day,
hopeful with her
new life partner by her side
but, later,
when her children called
her beautiful,
she was often exhausted,
her hair messily tied back,
no make up,
wide in the waist
where it used to be narrow;
she just couldn’t take it in.

Over the years, as she tried,
in fits and starts,
to look beautiful,
she found other things
to take priority,
like bills
and meals,
as she and her life partner
worked hard
to make a family,
to make ends meet,
to make children into adults,
to make a life.

Now,
she sat.
Alone.
Her children grown,
her partner flown,
and she couldn’t remember
the last time
she was called beautiful.

But she was.

It was in every line on her face,
in the strength of her arthritic hands,
the ampleness that had
a million hugs imprinted
on its very skin,
and in the jiggly thighs and
thickened ankles
that had run her race for her.

She had lived her life with a loving
and generous heart,
had wrapped her arms
around so many to
to give them comfort and peace.
Her ears had
heard both terrible news
and lovely songs,
and her eyes
had brimmed with,
oh, so many tears,
they were now bright
even as they dimmed.

She had lived and she was.
And because she was,
she was made beautiful.
