I have lived a thousand lifetimes in one.
I know how it is to be deeply loved, ecstatically happy and to know that this will always be so.
I know how it is to sit in despair day after day, week after week, and see no end in it, unless in the early reprieve of death.
I know how it is to be honoured as a powerful woman,
and I know how it is to be raped and desecrated.
I know how it is to stand in my power and allow my light to shine,
and how it is to scurry and hide in shadows for fear of discovery.
I know how it is to feel completely futile
and how it is to hold the power of the Universe in the palm of my hand.
I know how it is to give birth to life, and how it is to give birth to death ….
