Divine Feminine Love

I’ve lived and I’ve died.
I’ve felt and I’ve been numb.
I’ve glowed and I’ve been ash.
I’ve reigned and I’ve been no one.

I’ve sang and I’ve been silenced.
I’ve towered and I’ve been mud.
I’ve conquered and I’ve lost.
I’ve been queen and I’ve been prisoner.

I’ve felt blessed and I’ve felt cursed.
I’ve lived righteous and I’ve lived dirty.
I’ve stood and I’ve bowed.
I’ve laughed and I’ve wept.

Of all the names I’ve answered to,
Of all the cloaks I’ve worn,
Of all the roles I’ve claimed,
Of all the seasons I’ve experienced…

The loudest question that has persisted in my mind, challenging my authentic self since the beginning, is this:

“What does it mean to truly love?”

The answer?

Not angry.

What defines a divine feminine is her power of love.
To give and receive love.
To hold love.
To embody love.
To BE love.

This is a love that begins with herself.
This is a love that has no trace of anger.

I’m not angry at the mistakes I’ve made.
I’m not angry at my failures and losses.
I’m not angry at my past, or my childhood, or all that this life has robbed me of.

I’m not angry at the scars that sometimes still hurt.
I’m not angry at the years that were lost, or the memories that never were.
I’m not angry at my enemies, or the hand that life has dealt me.

I’m not angry.

The greatest blessing of the divine feminine is that her love comes with peace.
No conditions.
No trade-off’s.
No salt.
No revenge.
No limits.
No coercion.
No questions.

No anger.

Learning to choose grace toward myself was the first step to becoming the true embodiment of the divine feminine.
It is the portal toward becoming that same grace for others.

Love has but one defining characteristic…

It is not angry.
