Thank you for this reminder dearest Gabriela - that we are all of love and war...
I am both - we are all both.
And the reminder that it's truly ok to attract and repel...
I had forgotten, and I've still been trying to repress part of me, so as to make myself "acceptable/appropriate"... - my vitality has thus been quashed, my strength obliterated, my voice gone... I repressed my righteous anger, my coeur-rage (as you taught us), my warrior nature. I think that's when the war began inside me...
And now I remember your words at the end of Materia Prima that have stayed with me (although sometimes I lose them deep inside myself!): YOU ARE NOT HERE TO PLEASE ANYBODY...
Thank you! If we cannot together overcome tribalism and work together for all of us, there is no way forward. That which is divided fights, that which is together loves. I have friend in Beirut in hospital, unable to move, as she is in recovery. There are no words.
That is devastating beyond words. I’m so very sorry to hear that. I have friends there at the moment too, as I do in Palestine and the sense of injustice, disbelief at the violence we are capable of and just an overall grief is utterly debilitating. My blessings go out to your friend, and to you.
Thank you. I’m glad to hear that. I find it helpful too… this concept of the old creator deity being a goddess of both somehow makes it all more human.
Beautiful and poignant, so hard to put words to all of this terror. Thank you for sharing, weaving and throwing light on the dance between the inside and outside.

Your talk about the goddesses of war and love aided my empathy and understanding. This was great.
