we are all just gorgeous, amazing chaos...
we want to live lives of wild, carefree abandon. but responsibilities, bills, and life steps in and attempts to force a yoke upon us. many of us rebel, fight back. but not enough of us. we are all beautiful, inside and out, but society’s expectations and the expectations of others force us to deny our beauty and adopt the beauty imposed by those who are also not happy with themselves.
but… we… women... we find ways to rise above the malaise of daily existence and the potential humdrum of living. we wear our hearts on our sleeves, share our minds with those willing to listen and allow our spirits to dwell in forests for relaxation. we dance in the rain, sing in public and laugh out loud. we write poetry from our souls, paint from our hearts, sculpt reality into fantasy and create music to love by. we love easily, rarely lose hope, take on the problems of many, strive to help those in need and to heal those in pain. all we ask in return is a safe haven in times of stress, to be loved for who we are, to be truly understood, to be seen beyond the mask we wear, and to not be laughed at when our masks slip.
we are flawed in our beauty, tremulous in our courage, and imperfect in our striving for perfection. we are cracked, broken and often spit upon by the world, but we will fight for those we love and run headfirst into battle to protect the weaker, younger, inexperienced, naive, and unaware. we allow our light to shine through our cracks, use our brokenness to inspire others and turn the spits into stepping stones.
but... we don't do this alone, we are not in this by ourselves. we are each other's friends and as friends, we are each other's candle - we light the way through the darkness of life. our friendships are the wings that help us soar over the inequalities of existing. our friendships keep our hope breathing and our love vibrant. we keep each others songs and share each others dreams. we remember each other's stories. we are each others backbones and we hold each other up when our own legs fail us.
there is an amazing passage from the audio and dvd version of the secret that causes my heart to swell with joy and exhilaration every time i hear it. it describes us and our friendships. it is said by Michael Beckwith. i would like to share it with you...
I believe that you’re great, that there’s something magnificent about you.
Regardless of what has happened to you in your life,
regardless of how young or how old you think you might be,
the moment you began to think properly there’s something within you,
there’s power within you that’s greater than the world,
it will begin to emerge, it will take over your life, it will feed you, it will clothe
you, it will guide you, protect you, direct you, sustain your very existence, if you let it.
Now that is what I know for sure
