from Circle of Stones by Judith Duerk |
What would our lives look like today if a place like this existed where we were able to go to be with our women? A place where it was ok to be in the darkness as well as the light. A place for all women in all walks of life. A place to go with your daughters and your grandmothers. A place to discover our selves, our femininity, a place where you felt united with women, a place where you felt the embrace of understanding, a place that felt primal since the beginning of time, a place to discover the sacredness of being a woman and a place where there was no judgment.
Is this my ministry? The thought of it does bring tears. Talking about it brings tears.
I would have liked a place like this when I had my first period.
I would have liked a place like this when I lost my virginity.
I would have liked a place like this when I had my children.
I would have liked a place like this when I had marriage problems.
I would have liked a place like this when I had depression.
I would have liked a place like this when I started to see my light from within.
I would like a place like this when I start to show my daughters to embrace their own light.
I would like a place like this when I start to show my daughters to not be afraid of their own darkness.
I would like a place like this when I start menopause.I would like a place like this for my daughters and their daughters.
I would like a place like this when I become old so I could sit next to the woman who was in her darkness.
What would this mean to any of you?
How would your life be different?

Very powerful. I think this place lives inside of all of us individually. It would be a beautiful thing to have a collective community of women, where acceptance and love is the medicine for any ailment. You are awesome!
