WHO CELEBRATES THE VICTORY OF YOUR LIFE FORCE?
I wrote this poem after a particularly revelatory experience with a client in which I recognized, somatically, the power of claiming the victory of the innate creativity and will that brings us through the greatest challenges of life. I felt compelled to end the loneliness that happens when that victory goes unrecognized or is minimized. This poem liberated me into a celebration of self, and I intend it to do the same for you. If you would like to harness your own creativity through language, you can schedule a Crone Speak session, or subscribe to Crone Speak. An online writing program is about to be launched specifically for you. --SM

WHO CELEBRATES THE VICTORY OF YOUR LIFE FORCE?
Life is a hard-earned victory of consciousness, and life force is its vehicle.
Embryo is the name of that surge of light that finds embodiment,
And it is Embryo, Embryonic Being, Embryonic Intelligence, Original Brilliance,
That I celebrate now for myself, and for all.
I celebrate it not with stickers and emojis, but with an inner focus, a
Re-membering, like an anointing from within, a sacrament.
There is no religion, church, lover, relative, friend, colleague or partner
Who can anoint me with this meaning.
It is I, who traversed the winding canyons and rivers of the womb,
I who encountered and aided the lost souls I met on the way,
I who was afflicted by serpents and swords that aimed to slay me,
I who disrobed the disguised monsters of servitude, and
I who won the prize of living a life of purpose.
It is I who refuses all distractions and misrepresentations of my goal,
I is I who defines meaning, cleaning it from the the debris of manipulation,
I is I who can focus and know my own beauty as eternal,
I who am not deceived by appearances, and who see to the Depths.
Embryo, pure, illuminated, unceasing intelligence,
Formed now into the shape of crone,
It is you I adore,
It is you I worship,
It is you I love.
