IMAGINE A WOMAN

Is anyone out there familiar with an creative self-help writer called SARK?  I am really taken with these playful, uplifting books.  I am now reading parts of  "TRANSFORMATION SOUP", and am sharing a page from this book.

• IMAGINE a woman who believes it is right and good she is a woman.  A woman who honors her experience and tells her stories.  Who refuses to carry the sins of others within her body and life.
• IMAGINE a woman who trusts and respects herself.  A woman who listens to her needs and desires.  Who meets them with tenderness and grace.
• IMAGINE a woman who has acknowledged the past's influence on the present.  A woman who has walked through her past.  Who has healed into the present.
• IMAGINE a woman who authors her own life.  A woman who exerts, initiates and moves on her own behalf.  Who refuses to surrender except to her truest self and wisest voice.
• IMAGINE a woman who names her own Gods.  A woman who believes her body is enough, just as it is.  Who celebrates her body's rhythms and cycles as an exquisite resource.
• IMAGINE a woman who honors the body of the goddess in her changing body.  A woman who celebrates the accumulation of her years and her wisdom.  Who refuses to use her precious life energy disguising the changes in her body and life.
• IMAGINE a woman who values the women in her life.  A woman who sits in circles of women.  Who is reminded of the truth about herself when she forgets.
• IMAGINE YOURSELF AS THIS WOMAN.

This poem is written by Patricia Lynn Reilly, from "Imagine a Woman in Love With Herself".

Something to think about.
