Beside Restful Waters

by Greg Hermann



A Postcard


IMAGINE A WOMAN


Imagine a woman who believes it is right and good she is 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 believes she is good. A woman who trusts and respects herself. Who listens to her needs and desires, and 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 her wisest voice.


Imagine a woman who names her own gods. A woman who imagines her divine in her image and likeness. Who designs her own spirituality and allows it to inform her daily life.


Imagine a woman in love with her own body. A woman who believes her body is enough, just as it is. Who celebrates her body and its rhythms and cycles as an exquisite resource.


Imagine a woman who honors the face of the Goddess in her changing face. A woman who celebrates the accumulation of her years and her wisdom. Who refuses to use precious 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.



Greg here:

Imagine a man who protects and honors the space of this woman, and who will honor himself in doing so.
