They try to say what you are, spiritual or sexual?
They wonder about Solomon and all his wives.
In the body of the world, they say, there is a soul
and you are that.
But we have ways within each other
that will never be said by anyone.
In my religion, there would be no exclusive doctrine; all would be love, poetry, and doubt.
Every day, people are straying away from the church and going back to God.
And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
I do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; I seek the things they sought.
It's better to see God in everything than to try to figure it out.
I want to have a lasting experience of God... Sometimes I feel like I understand the divinity of this world, but then I lose it because I get distracted by my petty desires and fears. I want to be with God all the time, but I don't want to be a monk, or totally give up worldly pleasures. I guess what I want to learn is how to live in this world and enjoy its delights, but also devote myself to God.
If we want liberation, we must rewrite the Sleeping Beauty myth. No one is coming and no one else is to blame.
The ultimate liberation is to be liberated from the identification with being a woman. My womanhood is not the deepest thing that can be said about me. The deepest thing is that I'm a living trajectory of divine purpose and compassion moving through this time and space dimention in this form, and one of the names that I bear is woman. But it is not the whole of the consciousness.
