Others’ Voices…faith & the feminine

by Ronna Detrick on November 7, 2009

Sometimes (no, often) others’ voices speak far more profoundly than my own. Today, I listen, rest, and soak in their wisdom, beauty, and encouragement:

Faith is not trying to believe something regardless of the evidence; faith is daring something regardless of the consequences.

(Sherwood Eddy)

Among the feminine nouns I am fame, prosperity, speech, memory, intellect, resolve, and forgiveness.

(Bhagavad Gita)

The more I believe in myself and the distinct, unique, and profound truths that comprise “me,” I find myself needing more and more faith. Not because it’s hard to believe that I am amazing as I am, but because when I do the risk feels palpable; the  consequences ominous. It’s dangerous being a strong woman. And it’s so worth it.

Today, my work as a woman – as a human being – is to hold on fast and tight to all of who I  am; to have the faith to dare, to risk, to be, regardless of the consequences.

Today, I’m grateful for other’s voices who (slightly) quell my fear and fuel my faith.
