Essay – We Are Your World

The feminine is the silence that calls to the light.
It needs nothing and knows to embrace each moment.

We are not empty.
We are ancient and full.

That is what the feminine always was and will forever be.
Men try to make us small so that they can feel big and strong.

They try to hold us back when they do not want to admit that we are what has created this world.
We are the songs that have sung babies into being and have allowed the dead to depart peacefully.

Our voices fly with the winds and whisper in the moonlight.
We are the dancers who called spirit into form.

We are the marrow of ancient rituals and countless prayers.
We are the tastes that you forgot you longed for.

Embrace us and we are your wildest dreams.
Deny us and we become your worst nightmares.

Men have tried to make us forget.
But they always fail.

Men try to bury us under the burdens of their demands and needs.
But still we break free of those chains and step past their incessant projections of their ego’s limitations on us.

The feminine was not formed from a man’s rib.
All life was birthed through our wombs.

We are not the god you pray to … but the comfort you seek when all seems lost.
We are the goddess and we know that we are the power of form and flow.

We are the goddess and we patiently wait for you to grow past your clinging to your illusions, so that you can finally be content and free.
We wait in the wild places and expansive vistas.

We wait in the darkness that you fear the most.
You think that under the endless attempts at suppressing our passion that we will break.

As long as you believe that … you will be lost and afraid.
Because we are the call to your courage that conquers fear.

We are the love that transcends your ignorance.
We are the embodiment of what your soul longs for in its deepest places.

Until you shift that dogma of dominance you need to believe … you will always feel alone.
And you will fail in giving your deepest gifts to this world.

That is because …

We are your world.

We are this world.

We are creation itself.

We are the Feminine.
