Imagine a woman

Imagine a woman who honors the face of the Goddess
           in her on changing face,
A woman who celbrates the accumulation of her years and wisdom.
Who refuses to use her percious energy to
           disguise the changes in her body and life.

Imagine a woman who authors her own life,
A woman who exerts, initiates, and moves on her own behalf,
Who refuses to surrender except to her truest self,
           and her wisest voice.

Imagine a woman who names her own gods,
A woman who imagines the divine in her own image and likeness,
Who designs her own spirituality
           and allows it to inform her daily life.

--Patricia Lynn
