I love being a Woman. The gentleness, empathy, the nurturing, the guiding intuition, the spirituality and deeper connection and understanding to the realms that are not seen. 

But I also love tapping the man in me – the leadership, the practical manifestation into  tangible realities, the  assertiveness, adventure, the practicalities of daily living, ambition, pride, self – reliance.

I respect the limitations of both genders. The physical strength, the physiological hormones, the rules and structured confinements of social roles.

It is Woman’s Month. I am in awe of being a woman -- and a man.

It is a journey, an experience, a set of challenges that are not easy. I've had wins  and many failings.    

But I want to be intact, solid not as either gender  - but as a Whole.

As ONE. In consciousness , in awareness of my unity with all vital energy within me.  

As  a full being aggregated in both my feminine and masculine attributes.

Not half. Not lacking. Not in parts.

But in Totality.           

One filling up the other, both gender inside my body, heart, spirit summing me up as Singular  - not depleting nor defeating nor weakening the other.

Maybe to the fragmented man I am a threat. Perhaps to the sleeping, unconscious man I am a problem -  he, who is not connected to the core of all he is.  

Because I am Human. Complete in the making.

A Woman, enough in every part of me.

Happy Women’s Month!
