push

learning to stand
in your own power
sometimes requires
pushing back
against the voices
that say:
do it this way

into the silence

...god is laboring in me
i need to be silent for a while,
worlds are forming
in my heart.

on becoming

month by month,
things are losing
their hardness;
even my body now
lets the light through.
my spine is soft like wax
near the flame of the candle.
i dream...i dream.

-virginia woolf (1882-1941)
