I love being a woman. In spite of injustices perpetrated since the dawn of time, I wouldn’t give up being a woman for anything. Perhaps my love of my own body—my flesh, my breasts, my hips, my womb, my ability to create life—persuades me. Perhaps loving my mother, my daughter, and my granddaughter makes me biased. Perhaps my unconquerable commitment to protect life turns me into a warrior.
What a great piece! I resonate with everything you presented. I have been unlearning so much. I relate with being very clear and not being heard. It came up again for me today. I think I finally realized it them and not me. Their inability to take responsibility for their actions in our dynamic is on them. I am coming out of the trance. I looked at it from a broader vantage point. These few people are the only ones that see me in this way because it serves their story about themselves. Others listen to me and I listen to them.
Thank you Justice. A really important distinction that finally took root in my awareness exactly when I needed it. I will use your descriptors to replace the other ones.
This reminded ne of a past life regression I had yrs ago. (in all other lifetimes I was male) The guide took me back and I realized I felt so different. I felt feminine energy, I was a young girl. In that time I was being boarded on to a ship at a Greece port. My father had sold me to someone who lived across the sea. I felt lighter, airy, less dense? Anyway, I've never forgotten that feminine feeling.....always felt "Oh, so that's what it feels like to be a girl..."
