Dancing towards Unity with Mari and Mia

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

To Every Woman Beneath the Moon

You walk through life like the moonlight on water steady yet free, embracing each phase of your journey with grace. Just as the moon tugs at the tides and lights the night, you bring light and balance to the world around you.

With roots deep in the earth and eyes lifted to the stars, you honor both the pull of Nature and the vastness of the Universe. You gather wisdom from each cycle, from the glow of fullness to the quiet of new beginnings, knowing that every phase is essential.

May you always remember that, like the Moon, you are both soft and strong, illuminating life’s path for others and reflecting the beauty of all that surrounds you. Let the rhythms of the Moon, the Earth and the Stars guide you, and may your light never dim.

"And in the end, I believe that we don't need to do anything to be loved.

We spend our lives trying to seem prettier, smarter.

But I realized two things.
Those who love us see us with their hearts and attribute qualities to us beyond those we really have.

And those who don't want to love us will never be satisfied with all our efforts.

Yes, I really believe that it is important to leave our imperfections alone.
They are precious to understand those who see us with the heart. "

If you feel related, feel free to share this post 💚

To Priestess is to....

Look at another woman with inspiration rather than the green eyes of envy.
To love another woman as a sister, rather than seeing her as the enemy.
To remember we each hold a love so vast and powerful it could heal the world,
To realize within our femininity is a strength that can moves mountains.
To take our responsibility as the wardens of Mother Earth as a privilege, rather than a burden.
To embrace and engage with the unspoken within and without.
To heal our wounds consciously for ourselves, our ancestors, future generations and one another.
To allow the feelings to flow through,
To be acknowledged and let go.
To observe,
To speak from the heart,
To accept our vulnerabilities as strength,
To all my sisters, I honor you as you claim who you are,
Sister, I see you as you speak your truth,
Sister, I hold you as you rise to who you are destined to be.
