I love that this poem speaks of bones and the ribcage...
Isn't it said that we women are to have been formed from that structure?
Is that true?
Who knows?
It works well for this discussion.
Is it because we were made from a rib that so many of us are
adept at the "way we protect the heart."?
Is that why we are well practiced at how we
"engage with other ribs to expand, to contract,
and do our solid work to allow the heart to float"?
Now we are being called to
"be a rib in this body of our country
to make a safe space for love."
Aren't we doing this already?
Haven't we been doing it since childhood?
"To be that flexible, that committed to what is vital,
that unwilling to yield."
I have no doubt we can do this,
each of us, in our own particular way,
together...
it's in our bones.
Namaste'
