Where I am From

I am from newspaper women and farmer’s wives; spines of steel; wisdom beyond imagining; no dreams of fame and fortune. Just ordinary lives.

I am from hard work and ancient wounds never forgotten nor spoken of nor exposed to light of day; survival of the fittest; overcoming struggle.
Manifesting deep love.

I am from the ocean and the sand; eternal horizon expanding; waves crash and roar; undertow pulls and releases shells and skeletons from the deep. A million grains of understanding.

I am from ancient earth mothers; sisters of magic and mystery; creators of hope and beauty; vessels of future dreams; dutifully bearing children changing the course of history.

I am from spirit and flesh and bone. Made to wonder “why?” seeking ever after truth; needing only the next question; asking always for the answer
looking ever to God in the sky.

I am from the earth and sky; thriving where nothing should grow. Dirt and clouds, sun and rain; blooming where I’m planted; desiring only air and water
sometimes reaping more than I sow.

I am from woman and man; destiny, desire and chance. Created in an image and likeness; struggling to be different; resigned to be who I am;
rising above my circumstance

I am from saints and angels; wings of gossamer and gold; seen from the corner of my eye; whispers and quiet breezes; in my head and on my skin;
heavenly secrets in dreams unfold.

I am from the eternal source of life; created for a purpose and a reason;
perfectly and divinely designed; journeying toward heaven; offering up my future and my past; each twist and turn in time and season.
