Wise Woman

Rooted. Becoming conscious of who you are is to get grounded, find your center, stay focused there, and steady your mind. Falling apart and then trying again. You are a tree. A graceful willow, a solid oak, or a flirty palm, your feet are firmly rooted in the Earth and your head is extended up toward the sun. You are stable. Still.

“I wanted to become a Wise Woman, grounded and rooted in the Earth, listening to its stories and meditating... the old ancestral and spiritual wisdom which shows us how to live in balance in the world, how to live in harmony in our communities.” Sharon Blackie, If Women Rose Rooted
