A Place For You ...




How might your life have been different if there had
been a place for you, a place for you to go to be with your mother, with your sisters and the aunts, with your grandmothers, and the great- and great-great-grandmothers, a place of women to go, to be, to return to, as woman?

How might your life be different?

CIRCLE OF STONES
Judith Duerk


Our society is very mobile with loved ones located all over the world.  Young children may not have life time relationships with their grandparents or extended family.  The sense of community once found in incidental small towns is on a reduced scale.  The family structure itself has been and is being altered in it self. 

CIRCLE OF STONES, Woman's Journey To Herself,  by Judith Duerk, is a wonderful book for all ages.  It prompts the reader to look within to discover a personal feminine voice while viewing ancient culture and ritual.  The ability to create wholeness, which was once guided by the gathering of female family members, is now the responsibility of each of us.  Without the storytelling of ancient wisdom, the process towards developing our feminine nature can be lengthy and daunting.

It is for this reason that relationships need to be as real and truthful as they possibly can.  We must be the mothers, sisters and aunts, grandmothers, and great grandmothers and great-great-grandmothers to one and other.  We are called to fill relationships with integrity and openness, with our truth for the enhancement of all involved.


"Friends are the family
we meet along the way."
