Monday Offering...Rise Up

For you

my SoulSisters...

sung by my beautiful Sister of the Wood

Cathy AJ Hardy

When my heart was troubled

I went to the woods to pray

When my heart was troubled

I went to the woods to pray

in my darkness you sang to me

Woman, I have set you free

Rake off your chains of sorrow

Remove your veil of fear

Find your courage

Find your strength

Lift your voice, stand tall again and rise

I'm calling you to rise...

Rise up woman rise up

Rise up woman, rise

Rise up woman rise up

Rise up woman, rise

My heart was bent over

when I went to the woods to pray

My heart was bent over

when I went to the woods to pray

Suddenly down in my bones

My spirit heard you say

No more bending over

No more fear and shame....

rise up woman...

Throw off darkness

Throw of shame

throw off words of cruel blame

Listen to the whisper

of the One who calls you name

Rise up people rise up

Rise up people, rise

Rise up people rise up

Rise up people, rise

Rise up Sisters Rise up!

Love and Light

I was struck by the reminder that there is One who calls my name. I've heard that all my life, but I really want it to be true, something blocks the way, something ...
Thanks Cat, you are a dear one.

"The world will know and understand me someday. but if that day does not arrive, it does not greatly matter. I shall have opened the way for other women." ~George Sands

"I have a new command for you. As I have loved you, so you must love others. "~Jesus

"You don't have a soul. You are a Soul...you have a heart." ~C.S. Lewis

"Humankind has not woven the web of Life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. all things are bound together. all things connected." ~Chief Seattle, 1854

If ever there comes a time when the women of the world come together purely and simply for the benefit of mankind, it will be a force such as the world has never known."~ Matthew Arnold

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”~ Buddha

"The world will be saved by the Western woman....Some people will call me a feminist...but we need more effort to promote basic human values-human compassion, human affection. And in that respect, females have more sensitivity for others' pain and suffering." ~Dalai Lama

"All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another." ~Anatole France

Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a feild. I'll meet you there. ~Rumi

"Those who seem to know more truth than you simply reflect the part of you that has forgotten. They are your touchstones to remember." ~Alan Cohen

"We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another;unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, resent, and the future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations." ~Anais Nin

"Process is more important than outcome. when the outcome drives the process we will only ever go to where we've already been. If process drives outcome we may not know where we're going, but we will know we want to be there." ~ Bruce Mau
