Woman's Worth workshop series

dual nature

a sigh draws breath from all edges

cheeks collapsing and relaxing against bone and flesh.

breath drawing inwardly, expands

our physical presence,

our psyche’s presence.

breath that sighs and draws us closer

to our heart and soul dance

gathering and churning this drawn breath

revealing the dual nature,

that light and dark,

the completeness of our humanness.

drawing breath that feeds dream's

symbols, and archetypes

through sighs drawn and breath released

upon waves we ride

deciphering language of surrender.

divine feminine

is grace with a mix

of raucous gentleness in action

with a spark leading to explosion

soft-hearted with easy tears

that lead to firm clear boundaries

that do not compromise Self.

resolve with compassion

selfishness that takes nothing

from another’s own journey

respect for all life—

a clarity of knowing

when respect for death is correct

a connection to laughter smile and calm

"be still," she says

“be still,” she says--it’s all within

each archetype’s gift, unfolding

there’s no more room

the holes are fully filled

it’s time to sit and gather

“be still,” she says--listen and see

you are complete--with love

and inner knowing

hold it true--find center

your sight is clear, in stillness.

belonging

as a wave’s wondrous break, the syncopation of ocean surf,

the moon’s waxing and waning, the sun’s ascent and assimilation

paralleling train tracks, peas in a pod, a pearl in an oyster shell,

wet water, hot solar sun-rays, cold as in chunky ice,

the rustling of thousands of trees’ leaves in wind.

homeostasis as in equilibrium, 

inner calm and its peacefulness and joy,

health and happiness.

belonging

as in a period at the end of a punctuated sentence,

a comma before “but,” & “e” before “i” after “c,” 

a woman and her wild feminine, a crone in her centered wisdom,

a village of varied people,  a warm-hearted woman and her mated man, 

lovers and their lingering kiss,

tears as in spilling sorrow, laughter as in jubilance,

a crescendo and decrescendo,

a heartbeat and life.

belonging

as in a circle is whole--

without a beginning,

without an end

all complete—

belonging to itself,

its entity

unified

and belonging without question—

one

whole.
