Fear of Her Womb

​To be a woman…

For me, means getting uncomfortable
Often.
Remembering that I am capable.
I am ever-changing
yet I am always becoming
M
ore of myself.
A form that is pure and capable.
A vision that is solid and divine.
A feeling that is safe and warm.

I was afraid of my last moon cycle
When I got her two weeks early.
I was immediately afraid of her power.
Her strength.

She came upon me without fear,
c
ompletely unapologetic
And unforgiving, like Kali ma
I didn’t trust her process this time,
For my state of being felt compromised
At the time.

I didn’t trust myself.
I didn’t feel open to receiving.
And therefore I didn’t honor my womb,
and t
he blood being shed.
She knew to move the excess heat from my body
so I could recover quickly and easily
f
rom my sickness.

Grief. stagnation.
Rising up and out of my lungs to be cleared.
My womb pulsing like the universe in action
Clearing and moving energy within my depths.

S
till I questioned her intentions
Because it seemed so out of ordinary
Because it looked so different than I had ever seen.
I questioned the faith I’ve been guided by.

This is God, she says.
Our sacred temple
Always adapting, ever evolving.
And how will I move through with her?
In the discomfort, of course.
For that is how I choose to learn.
