"Derry down green; Colour my dream." -Van Morrison
I could spend the rest of my life in the middle of a Van Morrison song.

Book Porn for Book Lovers
"Wear the old coat and buy the new book." -Austin Phelps
Let's face it, a kindle will never smell as good as a well-loved book.
I am a confessed book hoarder. I hoard books shamelessly.
And as a hoarder of books, I love this website:

Imagine a Woman
"To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance." - Oscar Wilde
This poem is my mantra. It brings me home, back to myself. Enjoy.
Imagine a Woman
Imagine a woman who believes it is right and good she is a woman.
A woman who honors her experience and tells her stories.
Who refuses to carry the sins of others within her body and life.
Imagine a woman who trusts and respects herself.
A woman who listens to her needs and desires.
Who meets them with tenderness and grace.
Imagine a woman who acknowledges the past’s influence on the present.
A woman who has walked through her past.
Who has healed into the present.
Imagine a woman who authors her own life.
A woman who exerts, initiates, and moves on her own behalf.
Who refuses to surrender except to her truest self and wisest voice.
Imagine a woman who names her own gods.
A woman who imagines the divine in her image and likeness.
Who designs a personal spirituality to inform her daily life.
Imagine a woman in love with her own body.
A woman who believes her body is enough, just as it is.
Who celebrates its rhythms and cycles as an exquisite resource.
Imagine a woman who honors the body of the Goddess in her changing body.
A woman who celebrates the accumulation of her years and her wisdom.
Who refuses to use her life-energy disguising the changes in her body and life.
Imagine a woman who values the women in her life.
A woman who sits in circles of women.
Who is reminded of the truth about herself when she forgets.
Imagine yourself as this woman
Patricia Lynn Riely, 1995
