Warrior of Love

She lived in a world full of "shoulds".  She grew up knowing she didn´t belong there but didn´t know her way out.  Still,  she intuit there was something deeper than a life were the most praised accomplishments were measured in numbers and not in hearts.

Her search took her to her first yoga class.  The experience was a catalyst and her desire for the truth got stronger and stronger.  I met her when she had already soften her armor.  She had started melting all the resistance built through years of enduring the hardships of a culture where love is a commodity and spirituality a hippiesh endeavor.  She knew she didn´t belong there.

Still,  she didn´t know where to go.

Her tears were the sign that she was ready for the leap of faith.  I knew she had the power,  but would she endure the sacrifice?  Many know what the path is but lack the confidence and trust to change and evolve.  This was not the case with her.  In her blue eyes i could feel she would follow through and my heart was not wrong.

She gathered herself,  set her mind.  Plan her trip,  said goodbye and left.  Her life behind became a pleasant memory.  But her present uncovered- finally:  all the intensity she had kept at bay since her childhood.  Daughter of the wild,  important piece of this sisterhood.  Not all women belong,  but those who do can´t fight our fate.

Through layers of sorrow and grief she came to do her work.  She knew there would be no way back.  She gave it all and could step into solid ground.  The knowing. The wisdom beyond the words.   Her grasping of the subtle was brilliant.  Her intention to feel determined.  She was meant for something greater that the usual life,  she knew it and couldn´t fight it anymore.

My own path started also at her tender age.  I was also a mother and the sacrifice to run with the wolves is not easy for the alpha female.  Her duty is with her puppies,  but the meaning of this life in her heart.  Both realities can blend,  there is duality only on the surface.  We learn by training our children in our own wildness,  they learn by watching us become stronger.  Integrity in strength,  that is the lesson they came to learn from us.

Our men should know this and honour it.  Otherwise,  the relationship becomes a constant struggle.  Our mission is to carry this lineage into our breed and grow it everyday with our own tears and blood.  Not an easy task but no other option for some of us.  Her eyes opened, her heart bled.  But she left in a different space,  knowing where to plant her seeds.

Promising not to forget.

She is deeply missed and her steps will resonate deeply in the future.  Lucky soul who found her path.  Blessed being who was stronger than her fears.  Example of focus,  longing and love.  Wherever you are,  dear friend,  don´t you ever every give up.

Dedicated to all the woman who are meant to change this world,  changing ourselves one day at a time.  Opening our hearts though it hurts.  Holding each other as sisters,  mothers,  daughters and soulmates.

I bow to you all.
