Daily Affirmation - Tuesday

I hear what I say. I think and speak positively..

Prose by a Liberty Woman

22-6-12

                There is two of me, the fae and the weaver.  The ethereal one smiles and weeps in childlike swings, not graceful but wanting to be, yearning for mysteries and shrinking back in fear of Pandora’s Box.  Is it hiding hope or despair?  The weaver is calm, she creates, she cuts away what she does not need and shows her work to others.  She is fierce, sober-eyed and dances with her shadow.

                They stand back to back, learning their secretes and coming together.  They will be mostly one someday, bearing the scars that were once bars, the grace theirs to master, the blade and box theirs to bear with knowing smile.  Theirs is the mystery, the dance, the calm joy.  They – we – I am worthy of this prize.
