Do you see her?
I do.
Do you know her?
I do.
She is me. I am her. We are one.
A glimpse of this wise warrioress came and I have been sitting with her, trying to figure out the battlefield and what we are fighting for. I thought I knew but somehow it has shown up as something different, something simpler and yet it might be the most difficult thing to achieve.
I am just now finding words for what is ahead, for what burns deep in my soul. The coals of this fire have somehow stayed with me no matter efforts to suffocate the last heat, the last flame, the last flicker of life. Maybe she tended the fire. Now I join her, reaching out my hands to a feeble warmth. It is enough to give me hope.
For now I have a deep desire to strip it all down. Life is not nearly as complicated as it might seem. The answers are not nearly as elusive as I thought. What if there is no grand purpose, no great dream to pursue? What if there is just this, just now and the necessity to just be? What if there need not be a list of goals, a business plan, a marketing scheme? What if the degree is not the point? What if indeed?
When the wise warrioress came to me, I thought an epic quest awaited. I magnified it in my mind and was assisted by the great questions of life. It became daunting and so large I could not focus and know my purpose in it all.
But look at her.
She is soft, gentle and kind.
Sureness and certainty walk with her.
Traditional warfare is not her way.
She plays a different game.
She creates a different system.
There is no striving in her eyes.
She is present in this moment and looks with love at all that life has given her.
My Wise Warrioress.
She is me.
I am her.
We are one.
I love her gaze – so sure and full of love and strength <3
