WHAT IS IT ALL GOOD FOR?

 

GREETINGS MY SISTERS...

IT'S BEEN QUITE SOME TIME.  HOW HAVE YOU ALL BEEN?  REALLY? 

     AS I SIT IN THE LIBRARY TO TYPE THIS I HAVE AN OVERWHELMING QUESTION THAT HAS BEEN SURFACING AND I CAN'T SEEM TO ESCAPE IT, SO I GUESS EMBRACING IS THE ANSWER.

     I'VE BEEN AROUND THE WORLD AND BACK AT LEAST A GAZILLION TIMES.  WITH SO MUCH SPIRITUAL TRAVELING I'VE WONDERED WHY PEOPLE ARE THE WAY THEY ARE AND WHY THEY DO SOME OF THE STRANGEST THINGS ( IN MY OPINION) TO EACH OTHER.  I, LIKE YOU I'M SURE HAVE HAD A VERY BUSY LIFE.  DEALING WITH EVERYONE ELSE'S DRAMA AND ISSUES.  I ALWAYS FOUND A WAY TO "FIX" THEIR ISSUES AND IT WAS TIMELY ENOUGH TO ALLOW ME TO "IGNORE" MINE.  CRISIS DIVERTED WAS MY LANGUAGE.  I NEVER FULLY LOVED OR LIKED ME.

     I GUESS IT WAS BECAUSE OF MY LISTENING TO OTHERS TELL ME AS A GIRL I WAS TOO OPINIONATED, TOO LOUD, TOO INQUISITIVE (NOSY), MY BUTT WAS BIG, MY BREAST WERE LITTLE, MY GAP IN MY TEETH, MY DEEP VOICE.  SO MANY NEGATIVES FROM THOSE WHO SAID THEY LOVED ME.  WHY WOULDN'T A SISTER BE CONFUSED?

     MY UMMI FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT THOUGH, CONSTANTLY BEATING DOWN THE WALLS THAT I ALLOWED OTHERS TO BUILD IN MY HEAD.  I GUESS I GOT LAZY AND JUST WENT ALONG TO GET ALONG. 

     NOW TODAY IS A DIFFERENT STORY.  I REALLY LIKE LOVING MYSELF AND I PRACTICE IT MORE AND MORE DAILY.  I LOVE MYSELF SO MUCH THAT I NOW CAN SO "NO" WHEN NECESSARY FOR MY SPIRITUAL SANITY AND SAFETY.  LOOKING BACK I WONDER WHAT IS IT ALL GOOD FOR?  I MEAN THE BEATING UP OF EACH OTHERS SPIRITS, THE STEALING JOY FROM OUR NEIGHBORS, THE BACK BITING, THE LYING, GOSSIPPING, ALL OF IT.  W.I.I.A.G.F.?  DO WE REALLY GAIN BY DESTROYING ONE ANOTHER. ESPECIALLY WOMEN, DO YOU GET A FREE VIXEN CARD THAT NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT?  WHEN WILL IT END?

     I MEAN WE FIGHT SOCIETY'S CLAIM THAT WE ARE JUST BEINGS WITH A CERVIX AND BREAST, WE FIGHT OUR OWN SELF INFLICTED EMOTIONAL WOUNDS.  YOU KNOW THE ONES WE HOLD ON TO FROM OUR CHILDHOOD?  WHAT IS IT ALL GOOD FOR?  I HAVEN'T GAINED ANY FAVOR FROM CRYING, AND I SURE HAVEN'T KEPT IMPATIENT PEOPLE AROUND.

     PEOPLE WHO BEFRIEND YOU TO GLOAT ABOUT THEIR SELF.  YOU ALL HAVE ONE OR HAVE HAD ONE.  THE SISTER WHO HAS DONE THIS, DONE THAT, BEEN HERE, BEEN THERE AND STILL LIVING DOWN THE STREET FROM YOU.  (GIGGLING). 

     IT'S TIME FOR A REFRESHING OF THE SOUL.  TIME TO CLEANSE OUT THE SPIRITUAL CLOSET, GET THE WEBS OUT.  WHEN YOU APPROACH YOUR DAY I ENCOURAGE YOU TO ASK WHAT IS IT ALL GOOD FOR AND IF YOU DON'T GET AN ANSWER THEN, LET IT BE OR LET THEM BE.  FREEDOM IS GOOD WHEN YOU DECIDE YOU WANT SOME.

 

    IN CLOSING, I WAN TYOU TO GO LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND LAUGH, JUST LAUGH AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.  DON'T STOP LOOKING AT YOURSELF, AND WRITE AS SOON AS SOON AS YOU STOP CRYING.  LET GO OF THE GOOK AND ALL THE CROOKS THAT CAME INTO YOUR LIFE.  THEY CAME BECAUSE YOU AGREED TO THEM BEING THERE IN SOME TYPE OF SPIRITUAL CAPACITY.  NOW IF YOU WHAT TO NO LONGER ASK THE QUESTION WHAT IS IT ALL GOOD FOR, THEN FREE YOU MIND, AND THE REST WILL FOLLOW.

 

LOVINGLY

 

PRIESTESS HEAVEN
