You Were Created to Live

"The scars healed over into poems." Meggie Royer

Spending time in silence is a practice that I nurture and cultivate in my life, I have learned that my soul requires it, just like the plants require water to thrive, I also require times of reflection...and I choose to honour this need, I no longer hide it from others or from myself. It is also during these times of silence that I find that writing and drawing are manifested inside of me. I'm also aware that what I write comes from a deep source within me, I like to think that there is a deep well inside of me, where I can draw life giving resources from, my place of resilience....the place where I draw strength and light and embrace my life, tenderly, lovingly and nurturing. We all have it inside of us, that place where all our energy lies, where we store our resources and know that we can go to that place of inner knowing, whenever there is a need...

It is from this place that I write and it is from this place that I choose to live.

I dedicate the following poem to all the women who have ever felt that their voices have been silenced by society, by relationships that haven't been fruitful or life giving. I dedicate it to the women who have felt small in the face of adversity, who have felt ashamed for being a woman in cultures where women are not seen as equals but as subservient. I dedicate it to the women who have experienced abuse of any kind, I want you to know that you are more powerful than what you have experienced. And most important of all, I dedicate it to all of you who are reading this, may you know that you are also being called to be true to yourself and to honour who you are as a human being...

A Resurrection Summons

Woman of love...I call you to get up and walk.
I summon you to your resurrection moment.
Walk the path of love that I have prepared for you, it is your path to take.

Woman of deep wisdom...I call you to get up and dance.
I summon you to sway to the beat of the music in your heart.
Move to the rhythm of Spirit in your life.
You were created to dance with the Divine within you.

Woman of strength...I call you to get up from your sleep, it is time to rise.
Love has awaken you to the possibilities around you, love has risen up inside of you shining light in your soul.

Woman of love, wisdom and strength...
I summon you to resurrection.
You were created to love and to live abundantly.
