Spiritual Sunday
I've decided that the best way to discover the source of the true feminine spirit is to study women throughout religious history. I am going to study women of the Bible, goddesses of ancient Greece and Rome, as well as important women in the history of the world. This week I'll be studying Ruth from the Bible. I want to know the woman who is known to many.
I also wish to encourage other women to learn more about themselves and about women throughout history. We are not meant to be silent. We are meant to be the other half of men. Men and women are the yen and yang of the world. Neither is better than the other, we are created to compliment one another. The phrase "my better half" is often used in casual conversation. That statement is partially right. We are the other half of each other. Is that to say that one must be married in order to be whole? No. We must first love ourselves and be a whole person before we can fully love anyone else. We must find our own paths in life and not allow others to destroy what we know in our hearts to be true. As women we sometimes forget that although having others in our lives is a blessing, we are not servants to the whim of others. We are beings with spiritual and physical needs that must be nourished in order to nourish our families and friends.
