If my Vulva Could Speak

If my vulva could speak what would she say?
Ouch!

You cut and scarred me, my deepest expression of feminine Spirit, my ocean, my valley.

What would my vagina say?
Would she scream in terror and pain, “Leave my tissue alone, don’t rob my integrity from me!”

Would she say, "Get out of me! Don’t probe and prod in me.
Don’t tell me vaginal tissue doesn’t hurt when you cut it (without anesthesia).”

And what would my cervix say?
Would she say, "Don’t pull that baby out of me!"

My tissue is screaming. She can't take it anymore!

I promise to listen to you, to acknowledge your voice.
You are the true essence of me, my deepest Ancient wisdom.

I invite the Goddess to fully embody my being, my Soul.
I invite her into my tissue, into my vaginal canal, my uterus
Into my primal creative power, to guide and direct my healing.

Mother Earth I see your scars, your wounded tissue, the disrespect of your sacredness! If my vulva were eyes she would cry and cry! The violation runs deep.

Your fertile soil and earth have been ravaged. The misuse of the beautiful female body symbolizes the wounds the Great Mother has endured.

And she sustains us yet continues to receive abuse, due to the ignorance, domination and greed driving our culture.

I heal my inner earth.
I become fertile, receptive, strong.

I honor the Goddess and her creative forces.
I allow my inner river to flow.

I embrace my fertility cycles, open my heart and womb, circular, deep and ever alive.

I now choose to believe that every cell in my body can regenerate and release that which no longer serves this new revelation, this remembering.
