Giving Voice to the Unseen & Untold in Women

 

Raised in an overly rational, reductionist culture, we have no language to communicate that which is the invisible source of our deepest and non-rational power as women.

 

Women are body (vessel) and deep inexpressible feeling. We drink from the well that cannot be seen, and we feel-sense-know the power of this Force which speaks through our pain and wisdom, but when we go to open our mouths to share or explain, our mouths cannot give voice. Rational words fall short, and so, too often, we fall silent, and then we fall into an endless abyss of non-expression, internalizing that our lives and stories don’t matter. Why? 

 

Because our everyday rational language — rooted in the measurable, quantifiable, and provable — is too small to hold those invisible currents which only myth, poetry, and metaphor are big enough to hold.

 

Women are made of these infinite currents, and when we give voice to them through a language of our own — an ensouled, eros-filled language arising from the body, not the mind — then word by word we reclaim the invisible powers within us that remind us who we are and help us be courageous enough to be that in the world, our work, and our lives.

 

With every story of our lives that we tell in our own Mother Tongue, we dredge up the buried soul-force and vital life-force energy that gives us the strength we need to carry on, and to carry the unseen waters of Life into a dry, withered world.
