If you’re an artist, you live this Truth-
What wants to be poured into you can only come in, when you are empty. The emptier your vessel, the more the Divine can fill it. And the vessel has to be strong.
My Life, and work are devoted to that strengthening, emptying and filling.
Recently, we closed Come to Circle – a 6 week group I led, rather unconventionally.
I decided to show up as I work best. Unconventionally, completely spontaneously, sharing pure emergence, pointing directly, harnessing the potency of love, coherence, inviting the essential…
It was exquisite.
What came through transformed us all, magnificent to a magnitude I hadn’t dared anticipate. We left rooted into ourselves and the blessing field of Life.
As we closed circle, I invited the group into a 10 minute write to celebrate who and how they had loved themselves into being. A group incidentally, of all women, we cried as we shared our words- touched to our cores. It felt apt- it was Women’s Day. It was also the day I spoke at the World Women Summit.
The prompt was Today, I am and this poem came through.
I was on fire. Heart fire.
Maybe you’ll feel it in my words below.
Sharing it to celebrate the feminine in you. I invite you to into your own 10 minute write. Set a timer. Share with us what comes through.
She speaks in many voices, after all.
Jai Ma!

TODAY, I AM
Today, I am
surer of my feet
clearer in my yes
lighter in my belly-
full of spirit fire
embalming Love
Today, I am
in my right place in my right time
in rhythm with the Whole
in body
in Life
speaking to women who across this Earth
sing, step and rise
through the darkness of the womb
the ashes of their wounds
to stand
shoulder to shoulder
arms in arms
hearts to hearts
Today, I am
Daughter of my Mothers
Who stand behind me
Mother of my daughters
born of me
an unbroken line of Light
all the way to always
Today, I am
Daughter of the Himalayas
Mountain woman
Planted at fire mountain
Woman of fire
Rekindled and renewed
Knowing in my bones
That my time isn't just coming
It is here,
because I am.
So empty
and so full
drinking it in.
Today, I breathe mercy
I feel Grace
For those who can’t hear themselves
who’ve forgotten their Name
Who long for the song singing my bones
in the beat of their hearts
the tune in their toes
and can't feel it yet, just yet
Their time will come I know.
I hear it now
here beneath our common ground
Today, I feel
rich in the magnificence of simplicity
Easy in my flow
Abundant in the surety
That my heart of hearts knows
It's here
It's easy
It's free
It's given
Pouring, seeping, dancing
in our bones
both yours and mine.
Today, I receive
the blessings of The Mother
the Dark one
who brightly burns
tending my travelling Light.
Sarvajanani. Swadharini.
Maha Shakti. Maha Kali.
Ma Durga, Lakshmi, Saraswati.
Ishtar. Ishwari.
Isis to Mother Mary.
You are me
and I
am every woman
seen and unseen.
She’s all in me.
