[Art by Susan Seddon Boulet]
Today
there was a full moon
just before dawn.
Wild Woman
walks
with a foot
in both worlds:
the practical
and the intuitive.
She recognizes
forces are
working
cooperatively,
within
and without,
striving for
the balance
and harmony
that has been
lacking.
She looks
within,
seeking the place
of love and compassion.
She looks
without,
knowing
she must practice
forgiveness
for what needs
forgiving.
She is being told
this is an
essential preparation
for what is
yet to come.
Today
Wild Woman
will walk by the sea
and reflect
on forgiveness.
She will release
pain and broken trust
over the waves
and watch them
fly away
like seabirds.
She will walk away
older, wiser,
lighter,
and
restored
to herself.
And she will
begin
again.
