To Be A Woman






"I am finding that it takes a lot of time
to be a woman,
to have a feeling of space and breath,
a chance to sink into myself ...
as long as I take time every morning
to light a candle to my life,
it remains my life.


But if I hurry into work
without that small moment of quiet,
then I've already lost myself,
and the day.

The task, for me, is to care, daily,
for myself and my life ...
to love and to nurture,
within myself,
moment by moment,
the quality of quiet presence,
quietly being present to my life,
which sanctifies it ...
to live as if the candle is lighted."

****I came across this quote while digging through my files.  I have no idea where it came from, but it must have resonated within me years ago when I first recorded it, and I loved it when I came upon it again today.
