What power do I have?
How can I overcome years of my head being pushed down, forced to bow and shut up?
How can I change the patterns of my mind, so that I stop walking down the old paths that say I deserve it?
.
This morning the answer for me was to make earrings that made me feel a Queen (Regina, in Italian).
.
Loops with dangles that would dance and remind myself to hold my head high.
.
Battered textured primal hoops with snakes wrapped around them.
With a wing - rise, rise, rise!
With a Fox fang - to call the cunning, the walking between the worlds, the power of the beautiful animal that so many don't welcome and hunt down. Still She lives. Wild.
.
And I wear them and I remember my newborn backbone.
I tell myself I don't have to become, I am already enough. I am good. I am marvelous.
.
It doesn't matter if I don't believe it every minute. I'm going to fake it until I get it. .
