"A woman is the full circle. Within in her is
the power to create, nurture and transform."
Diane Mariechild
Women are born with the potential to create, nurture, and transform, but this wisdom seems delayed in dawning. Think of the reduction of anxiety if we began our life knowing we had all of the tools we needed. How more tolerant we would be if we had the awareness of trusting our gut and not depending upon others for answers to the specialized questions we seek.
In my formative years, I received guidance to cope in an ever changing world: Don't draw attention to yourself; Always smile; Don't speak unless you are spoken to; Keep your legs together; Don't sit on a wet sidewalk, it causes hemorrhoids; and Never wash your hair during your period. These golden incentives explain my delayed and distorted thinking process at a young age.
Perhaps if we were like pillows or mattress pads, we could be born with a label stitched into our side stating: Powerful Human Being (Do not remove tag!), but of course the tag would be immediately scissored off. Maybe a tattoo discreetly imprinted to immediately remind our lovely selves that we indeed are powerful, creative, nurturing, and transformable. Even a small symbol could be an immediate trigger to remind us who we truly are ... a circle depicting our never ending story.
