I am a collector of words

Words feed me, free me, comfort, uplift and heal me. I've been saving my favorites in books, handwritten over the years and thought that perhaps in sharing them, not only am I preserving them for myself, but perhaps others may also find healing in them as I have.

Sacred Feminine

"A rediscovered language of sacred sisterhood can change the world.  One way to begin this work is to re-establish and claim the lost feminine traditions of spiritual practice: to know ourselves, and mirror each other, without blaming our brothers.   In fact, the brotherhood should no longer be our standard of focus.   In the way that the women's movement began with rightful outrage, it is now moving into a more visionary period in which women re-imagine the feminine as distinct and powerful in itself."   Brenda Peterson, Sister Stories
