We a...Thanks for sharing this wonderful experience. We all have our paths, and it sounds like you have truly found yours. Your reflections on the energy we emanate really resonated. I think you have hit on a fundamental truth. Our physical self may be the lens through which the world sees us (and we, the world) - but it is the light within that's at the core of it all.Heathercamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01991603036116740387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110706252335044918.post-38346512497526768682008-11-11T19:54:00.000-08:002008-11-11T19:54:00.000-08:00I can say nothing back other than I have been bles...I can say nothing back other than I have been blessed with wise and dear friends.<BR/><BR/>My love and respect goes back to you all.Gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10300317401842476897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110706252335044918.post-70304817957404597622008-11-11T15:15:00.000-08:002008-11-11T15:15:00.000-08:00Oh Gillian, You are indeed a mystical and magical...Oh Gillian, You are indeed a mystical and magical creature!! I love what Abby said in response to your fear that you "haven't paid your dues"..."none of us need earn the right to be ourselves". So you see Gillian, as I fight to be respected as a woman in a male dominated world, you fight to manifest the highest image of your true self. We fight side by side for the same thing in a slightly different package.<BR/><BR/>Welcome to the sisterhood Gillian. It was my joy to perform with you in Matreya and I look forward to our relationship blossoming over time.<BR/><BR/>With much love and respect,<BR/>ColleenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110706252335044918.post-47802490677860244942008-11-11T13:36:00.000-08:002008-11-11T13:36:00.000-08:00A "combination of Screaming Death and June Cleaver...A "combination of Screaming Death and June Cleaver," huh? Now, that's an image it will take some time to wrap my head around. At the same time, it makes perfect sense, for Kali wields her sword with love as she cuts away all that is illusion that we may know the love, the truth, that we are.<BR/><BR/>You said, "For all my claims to being a 'mystical and magical creature,' I am still conflicted as to my right to be me." But isn't part of the magic seeing the conflict between who we and others see ourselves to be and the truth, the magic, of who we truly are, and then being that magical, mystical creature despite all seeming evidence to the contrary? I think it is. And, although I've never seen you in performance, I'm certain that is exactly why you are accepted as a woman among women -- because you allow the magic of your truth shine through, and you make it real, for all to see. Yes, it is more about who we are, the energy, than the shape of our bodies. <BR/><BR/>As for not having paid your "dues," none of us need earn the right to be ourselves. We each follow different paths and pay different prices to reach that truth. You need not feel that you haven't paid enough, or as much as any other. Your path, and your price, is to be honored and cherished, just like mine, and Shauna's and all the others who travel the road to knowledge.Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293238500720538822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110706252335044918.post-59883187458897540422008-11-11T12:04:00.000-08:002008-11-11T12:04:00.000-08:00It is indeed lovely.

Am I the exception of all the girls?<BR/><BR/>Doesn't matter you are happy and you know what, that is all that counts. Isn't it lovely being a woman?<BR/><BR/>Love ya GillianShaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14177487519046407991noreply@blogger.com
