At the Circle's Center

Look at the Perfect One
At the Circle’s Center:
 
He Spins and Whirls like a Golden Compass,
Beyond all that is Rational,
 
To show this dear world
 
That Everything,
 
Everything in Existence
Does point to God. --Hafiz

Wise Woman

           

I am one who knows what it is to feel humiliated, to feel put down, to be discounted as not equal to man.

 Yet I am also one who knows the power and wisdom at

the core of my own being.

I am one who continues to light the fire of compassion,

who lifts my face to feel the grace that abounds even in times of adversity.

I am the ancient archetype of the Wise Woman whose power is there for all women; those who sit quietly and contemplate as well as those who declare themselves to the world.

 

My wisdom for you is to always balance power with compassion.
