It may not feel like you have begun anything, but you have. You have set a cycle of events in motion, which will propel you into healing yourself, repairing old damage, restoring the psychic body of the feminine to wholeness, re-implanting the roots of Feminine Consciousness into the Earth and bringing up the vital sap of higher love into the branches and leaves.

We do not know the true value of our moments until they have undergone the test of memory.

I let myself be seen
I let myself be witnessed
In all my softness, in all my strangeness
