Remembrance

“Remember, MK.”

“It’s not about what you have and where you’ve been. It’s about what’s within.

Remember who you are and why you’re here.

Remember, MK. Remember.,”

Remember, Woman

written by Reese Leyva

Remember, Woman, you were born
life giver, miracle creator, magic maker.

You were born with the heart of a thousand mothers,
open and fearless and sweet.
You were born with the fire of Queens & conquerors,
warrioress blood you bleed.
You were born with the wisdom of sages & shamans,
no wound can you not heal.
You were born the teller of your own tale,
before none should you kneel.
You were born with an immeasurable soul
reaching out past infinity.
You were born to desire with passion, abandon,
and to name your own destiny.

Remember, Woman, remember
you are more than you can see.
Remember, Woman, remember
you are loved endlessly.

Remember, Woman, your power and grace,
the depth of your deep sea heart.
Never forget you are Woman, divine,
as you have been from the start.

I went into this journey somewhat blindly but very ready to take on whatever hardships may come my way. During my very first spiritual cleansing everything felt so surreal. The intention was to not seek validation for the gift but to understand my past and to get rid of the negative energies around me so I can get a fresh start as I continue with my reflection journey. Unexpectedly the further I tried to avoid the confirmation the more I'm reminded about what it means to be part of the spiritual family.

With my ear ringing 24/7 for more than a few weeks, my temper a bit more wild than usual, and with me feeling annoyed and overwhelmed with everything going on, as my coworker shared the above poem with the young girls we worked with, it felt as if someone was speaking directly to me and I heard, "Remember, MK."
