Self Portrait

I am Woman
Feminist
Sacred uality
Giver of Life
Nurturer of the Divine
God in Its Flesh

I am Daughter of the Moon
Sister to the Trees
Cousin to Clouds
Cell of Gaia

I am the Sprouted Bud
And the Fallen Leaf
The Wind that Sings
Through Limbs
The Blossoming Lotus

I am Beautiful and I am Ugly
Gay and Straight
The Lost and The Found
The Seeker and the Sought

I am Mulatto
Black and White
Bound bonded to Binder
Family Trees
And Lost Histories

I am Violet and Blue
Air and Water
Aquarian in The Age
An Artist Soul

I am the Dreamer and the Dream
Resister of Consumerism
Disciple of Peace
Hopeful Visionary

I am a Witch
A Whole part of the Whole
Transmitter of lost Truths
Carrier of oppressed Legacies
Laced in the Web

I am diner of Inspiration
And hungry to feed It

I am the Reincarnation
Of Poets and Teachers
Of Women who harbored
The Powers of Gaia
Of those who used Words
To invoke Revolution

I am Perfection
And I am Imperfect

I am God in Its Flesh

Greetings

I would assume in the world of blogging, I'm not the only one out here for whom writing is cathartic. But, especially when dealing with personal and sensitive topics, how many times have you found yourself having to censor your real thoughts in the effort to avoid hurting people's feelings, or to protect their or your own privacy? But how therapeutic can writing really be if you can't be yourself, can't record your thoughts and feeling exactly as they are?

That's why I've created this blog. It's our little secret. It will not be connected to any of my friends or family members, and I will never reveal my true identity. Here, I will record my ideas exactly as they flow from my head and my heart as I journey toward spiritual fulfillment. Here, I will remove my social mask and just be. I hope you enjoy my candor. I hope it will inspire you, motivate you, touch you, and even sometimes anger you.

Here is my place to be me. With no makeup.
