Kicking Up Some Dust

 

 

 

"A woman is the full circle.

Within her is the power

to create, nurture, and transform."

This morning, I was reading an inspirational message from www.tut.com which referred to following our own path.  It was suggesting we not start out following the yellow brick road, but to seek the opportunity to drift off the beaten path.  If we choose to wander off, we kick up some dust erasing the obvious foot prints.  We then are called to use our instinct, intuition, and gut feelings to more or less 'feel' our way or to follow our heart.

 

The life of a woman is so frequently symbolized by a spiral.  We go around and around, deeper and deeper, discovering parts of ourselves.  As we travel, we experience lessons and also repeat said lessons on different levels until we have become a master of our knowing.

 

There are circles of women gently floating together from time to time, but separated regularly like clouds wandering the blue sky.  There are other circles of women who are more like a chain, strongly connected vowing never to be apart.  Sharing our visions, writings, charities and art work, contributes to the circle of relationship world wide. 

 

Although women can be very analytical, they are also very creative in their approach to resolving situations.  Their power is created through inner strengths, not necessarily through physical girth.  Women display their power through personal empowerment rather than power over others.   

 

Circles of women have been forming since the beginning of time.  It is natural for them as they continuously create circles within themselves.  They create a nubbin of an idea, incubate it, nurture and encourage growth, and see it to fruition . . . until the circle is complete.  Sometimes one circle is not enough whether it is knitting, cooking, or creating a business. How many times will a woman rip out her handiwork and redo it or alter a recipe year after year?  Women travel the same circle frequently, until they are satisfied with the circle.

 

Whether a woman is focused on flowers, children, career or all things mentioned, she will endeavor to create, nurture and transform.  A woman herself is a circle, being reworked over and over throughout the years.  Her physical form itself becomes a circle of radiance and light when she manages to wander off that beaten path following her authentic steps to self-discovery.
