Mother Earth

This is one of the most powerful photos I have ever seen.  I am a person that usually finds creativity within lots of things that some people never would and this photo was more than just creative to me.  It  moved my soul in a way that words can't even explain.  I'm thinking from my spirit right now, of myself and others.  I'm thinking of my mother, my grandmothers and many women  before them.  I think of women who were once slaves. I think of the women in the BIBLE. I think of women who are struggling with Cancer.

This picture causes me to breath deeply, and reflect from within as it is representive of women of color.  I guess all women.  Oh, how we bear so much.  Sooooo much. I think of the women who are hurting inside, therefore showing a lack of compassion for others because they have unknowingly been scorned from giving so much of themselves, while being unappreciated, they have no more to give.  The outside appears decorated with lots of smiles and fabulous clothing but the inside so messed up, beat down and lonely.

We cry tears. Tears of sorrow, tears of joy, tears of pain. We breathe nurture into our children, our men, our community, while sustaining abuse from them as well. Then we continue as the strong link that holds them all together.  Sometimes the ones we have so nurtured are the ones that cause us so much pain. Sometimes that being our children.

We give from the souls of our busum into life from day to day.  We give, give, give. We make love. Our love is sometimes even forcefully taken and we birth as a result of loving.  We are Queens that most times go unrecognized, unrewarded and ignored.  We're mothers, daughters, sisters, wives, lovers, aunts, girlfriends, EARTH.  We are.........

I want to remind all women everywhere, to take time for yourself.  Take care of yourself.  Meditate and pray each day as your lives are so fulfilled that your cup runneth over. Pray for those that cut throat as a result of all we have been through.  Thank GOD for those that are supportive and compassionate enough to try to save you from the burning grass and those who do not.

Even if you are scorned, and have nothing else to give, as you hide inside of looking good and driving a fabulous cars to soothe your soul,  let go, keep giving compassion, allow someone else to have some answers so that your flow can flow easily and painlessly into the path of freedom.   Your Day will come.  YES!

UN-control and  remember who ultimately is In- control and who holds the keys. I have to continuously remind myself of this.  Cause it is HE that holds you too. A great reward awaits us, because of all of the spilled milk we have incurred.

 Be careful what you say. Allow your words, expressions and emotions to flow positively.  I'm praying for women who are faithful, and trusting, for a release and a healing of your spirit.  Allow HIM to fight our battlesand hold our scorned spirit and bodies.  Whatever you are suffering, let go and let HIM. My prayer is for gentle, peaceful transitions.  Amen.

Just my thoughts from this powerful photo. What are yours?  I 'd love to hear them.

Thank you to the person that shared this photo with the public on facebook.  You helped me to sink deep into thought, while writing into my journal, taking time for prayer and being thankful for a friend of mines who is so compassionate and she doesn't even know it.  Last but not least,GOD, please be reminded of how grateful I am for all you have done for me and forgive me if I have done anything hurtful or unhelpful to anyone. I choose to allow my flow to flow gently, painlessly, compassionately and smoothly for inner peace.


Everyone, Be Blessed
