Protect Women
One late October day
I saw a 7 year old who had
smeared frozen blueberries all over his body
When I asked him about it-
he explained to me that it looked like bruises and
for Halloween he wanted to be a ‘beaten woman’
My heart broke
I looked him in the eyes
It took me a few moments to breathe and
compile my thoughts
This innocent young boy who
loved his mother so much-
He wanted to be just like her
This child had grown up in a household where
‘love’ meant you hit your wife
even in front of your children
I looked him in the eyes
I explained to the young boy that
Women are Sacred
Women are part of the
Sacred feminine as is
The Mother Earth and
We All must
Protect the Sacred feminine
We must be guardians of the
Mother Earth and of
The women of this earth
The sacred mother is the birther if all creation
Woman are channels for Divine Love
There is nothing more powerful than LOVE
The holiness of the feminine is to be protected
Men are the guardians and
Protectors of the women
You can not be a protector of our
Mother Earth without also
Protecting the women of this earth
It is a man’s position to
protect, honor and
Care for our Great Mother
It is not right for men to violate women
It is never acceptable for a man to be
physically abusive to his
wife, partner, family member or
any woman in his life.
I pray that little boy grows up
to see a day when his mother
no longer allows men to abuse her
I pray for his mother to stand in dignity and
Honor her boundaries
I pray for the day when his mother demonstrates a
healthy loving relationship with her partner
I pray for the day when his father remembers
how to honor the sacred feminine as One-
The Mother Earth and
The Women of the Earth
I pray for the day when his father
Respects the boundaries of the women in his life
I pray for a day when his father is able to model to him
What it truly means to be a man
I pray that one day the little boy
Will be the man that his father failed to be
I pray that one day he will be a decent man
That he will respect the mother of his children
That he will love, honor and
protect his beloved
I pray for all the battered women and men
I pray for all the abusers
I pray for the healing of the relationship between
The sacred feminine and the sacred masculine
I pray for balance
I pray for peace
I pray for respect
I pray for boundaries
I pray for dignity
I pray for safety
I pray for the protection of the mother
I pray for the generations to come
I pray for the generations before
I pray
I pray
I pray
For healing
For love
For courage
For strength
For remembrance of our Truth
We are Love
I pray for
All my relations
