when the goddess speaks we need to listen...

when the goddesses speak in great numbers we have no choice but to listen.

Last evening I was included to be among a group of goddesses gathered to send off a beloved friend to her home that is about to be too far away for an easy coffee together. We were asked to dress in fluid feminine-wear, to write a poem or create an offering of entertainment. We did as requested. Why wouldn't we want to participate in this celebration? We laughed, we tried not to cry, we chanted, sang, drummed and ate delicious food.

Our goddess hostess created a simple and simply elegant environment. There were just the right amount of chairs consciously placed for conversations of two. Larger groups gathered around a decorated picnic table. The drinks were under a winged tent out in the garden. The margaritas weren't too sweet, and the champagne was chilled. The flower beds were in bloom and pungent. The mosquitos partied elsewhere. And the moon came in full.

This gathering in this ambiance was just right for the goddesses to stand side by side. We passed a lite candle from one to the next, lighting the way around the circle. We gave our friend and the world at large a showering of love.
We dedicated ourselves to standing as pillars of peace and positve emanations and focus. And no matter where we are, we will remain connected as goddeses of the world determinded to speak our truth and to be heard..... until we meet again.
