A Man Writes on the Goddess in Women

My wife was at work a few months ago, called me up to share an invite she'd recieved to attend and event for women to honor the Goddess Within each woman...what a wonderful concept I thought.

Liking the basic premise of such a gathering, I gave voice to this piece, and hope that you all enjoy it as much as my wife did, even if it seems odd to have a man writing it.

Praise of the Goddess within Each of Us

Daily toils, stresses, children and the foibles of a hectic world to often see us as women losing connection with the Goddess which resides within and is a part of the whole we are meant to be. We need reminding of our heavenly and spiritual connection to the cosmos. our oneness with the universal stream of energy which joins each of us singularly and as womankind to the Universe. Today, we are here to remember and pay honor to that special Goddess that is who we are, and who we are meant to be.

A soul laid bare as once again we remember our gossamer wings and with scarcely an effort we take deep breath, eyes closed, our mind's eye focused we lift off into flight, our spirits once again gliding through the heavens as star dust touches and reawakens our hearts to the beauty of who we are, reminds us that we are of and are the Goddess, united in the sisterhood of the heavens.

Be all that we can be, but never lose touch with the temple residing within, find special time, sometimes alone, and sometimes with family or the one you love to honor the Goddess, take time to keep your temple a wondrous and mystical shrine which honors the most important of all things, that which is holy and pure, our Goddess.

Being graced with such a precious gift is an honor, yet with gift and honor comes responsibility…responsibility to hold dear that which is sacred, a responsibility to feed and nourish that which connects you to the heavenly spirits above, a responsibility to remember and pay tribute to yourself, and in that focus life takes on the mystical and magical hues of a rainbow as each day holds a special vivid brightness missing in a shrine that has fallen into disrepair.

Dark paths and sinister plots seem always about, trying to sway us from our Goddess path, the abyss waiting for us to falter, hoping that the light within will fade and wane, leaving us frail, timid and afraid to make a move. Fear not the darkness, fear not those seemingly dark passages through the forest of life, for your spirit will always show you the way back home if you stay focused on the heavenly light, and keep your Goddess Shrine holy and pure. We are one in the sisterhood, one with our creator, one with the heavens from which we have descended, one with the stars that light up the evening sky, guide ships traveling the turbulent oceans we know as life.

We are women; Goddesses placed here on earth for a spell in the hopes that together each of us in our own special way will make Mother Earth and the world a more beautiful place in which to live. In being who we are, in being the Goddesses that the cosmos intended us to be, we have no reason to fear the darkness, because it is we who were chosen to chase away the demons, it is we who were chosen to bring laughter and joy to this world, it is we who were chosen to brighten up those places where even men are afraid to tread.

So today we pay honor to the Goddess that resides within each and every one of us. We pay honor to those Goddesses who came before us, who shared life lessons that only mothers and sisters could share. We offer up thanks to the heavens, and reconnect to that sacred sisterhood that joins us with the skies.

Written in honor of my beautiful wife who is the Goddess whom I adore, Pina (My Sweet Pea).
