women's love is medicine
Comment
My dearest Helen (and All),
I am moved to tears. And really...: what is really here to say, how not to sound too casual about this? Whatever I write will not be able to stand up to the beauty of such an extraordinary friendship as this one is. It is such a blessing, and these things never are granted "for free". Both you and me, in our respective lives, and in the short time, in this life together, have come a long way – in terms of accepting our vulnerabilities and relating to our truth with a radical honesty. Facing the Real.
Almost 25,000 reads though on this page is not exactly a tête-à-tête. ; ) May the outpour of our womanly love inspire many others.
You say how we all connect through the Moon. This makes me think how much most women have really forgotten what the MOON really means! I'm not only talking about the lack of monthly awareness in our lives (including our menstrual cycles), not only about how artificial light pollution destroyed the delicate relating between women's pineal glands and the Moon. Etc. Etc. I am also talking about what the Moon symbolically means. The intuitive pull, the dark side (of the mind and psyche), the acceptance of how everything is ever changing, the reflective not the analytical, the magnetic, rather than electric aspects of life...
We say we are connected to the stars, even to other solar systems – and yet, we have no feeling and connection to what is closest to us – the Earth and the Moon. How is that possible?
We share our feelings about our spiritual paths, and yet, we are not able to hold out a hand to the ones who are closest to us without struggle?
In today's world, women's friendships are often difficult and often loaded with dishonesty (to self, to the other and between each other). There are not many that could be exemplary. There is so much that hurts in the feminine psyche, and collective consciousness that often women cannot relate to each other. The feminine web, of supportive women working together for the greater good of the Whole, seems to be lost.
For now. Partially. But there are connections. And whoever reads this: if you do have a really precious feminine friend in your life, do appreciate her (and yourself)! Enjoy the "milk and honey" that flows without question when it recognises the Essence in the other.
It is more than nourishing! It is medicine!
I send my love to you all. -- Réka
