A Woman’s Worth

“If you’re a sensitive creature, and almost every woman is, then your heart is open to all things. Every cry we recognize. Every tear we relate to. Every sigh contains our own. And we are stymied by this, immobilized until we make a run in the other direction. A woman’s emotional instrumentation, more delicate and intricate than any computer chip from Japan, is as fragile as it is powerful. It turns against us when it is not used for healing, constructive purposes. It is as if God has said, “Here. Feel this,” and we don’t know whether he said that because he is angry at us or because he loves us.Without a potent inner life, a spiritual connection, a woman tosses on a storm of hysterical emotions. Like a beautiful vase into which an ocean is poured, shattering the glass because the container cannot accommodate the force of the volume, we are ill prepared for the powerful and dynamic energies that race through our veins.We remember everything.

We remember Mary holding the baby. We remember watching him die. We remember wars and murders we don’t even know we remember. We remember ancient temple sites, healings and prophecies. We remember genital mutilation and Sophie’s choice. We were present at the beginning of things; and if people would only let us, we would teach the marvelous lessons we learned from the experience. We cannot get to our knowledge because the world is too loud. And we tend to make it louder as we cry out in pain, pretending we are singing. We add to the world’s cacophony because we don’t know it’s our job to turn down the noise and listen to silent symphonies. No one told us that. For thousands of years, they haven’t wanted us to know. But when we break free and see the game for what it is, we will let out a howl, and our silence will be deafening. We will hear the holy choir of angels, and do lunch with them, and speak their case. We will be intimate with the stars and ride rainbows to ancient Greece. We will light up like lamps, and the world will never be the same again.”I’m telling you. Every woman needs to read this book. Buy it for your wife, your mother, your daughter, your sister, your best friend, yourself!
