“Darkness is not simply a lack of light. Darkness is alive, and its life is obscured by light. Darkness puts out its tentacles and touches your face: darkness licks at your eyes and grants you a different kind of sight. Darkness is the voice of the shadow, a voice which words can only fail. Listen. Is it the drumming of your own heart that you hear, or the long, slow heartbeat of the Earth?”
~ Sharon Blackie’s book, “If Women Rose Rooted”

Healing and Hope. Her hand will guide us and show us.
“She is…….Anywhere you see compassion, anywhere you see a person bend to help someone who is hurting, Anywhere you see utter joy, Anywhere that you see people savoring life, Anywhere that you see people who are merciful, Anywhere that you see people who are prayerful, Anywhere that you see people who are funny, who make us laugh. We are seeing holy mother. She is all strong deep feminine, arms held out wide embracing life fully, protecting it, sheltering it, advising all of those things.”
“She is filled with grace. meaning, she says…does….acts….in ways that shower, like a shower of stars down on others, to light their way.” ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes

I am quite mesmerized by the raw honesty of Glennon Doyle. When at the same time as releasing her book about marriage….she announced she was divorcing, I thought wow this woman is for real. And then, she married Abby Wombach, soccer star* who I just love. So, I was super curious to hear her Story and the way she goes about telling it.
and so; finally I am reading it. And…..Loving it so far!!
QUOTE: Glennon Doyle’s x boyfriend, telling his wife who, after a long silence had asked him, “what are you thinking about? He said…..”I’m thinking about Glennon…she just doesn’t give a fuck” and his wife knew this was the ultimate compliment to bestow to a woman. She also knew this was, no, compliment.”
“Any woman who doesn’t give a fuck is simply abandoning her soul to adhere to the rules. No woman on earth doesn’t give a fuck — no woman is that cool — she’s just hidden her fire. Likely, it’s burning her up.”
— Glennon Doyle, Love Warrior
*super side note. Soccer! Futbol! I used to live across the street from the #1 soccer bar in Denver. We would have pre-parties at my apartment and then go to the game. So Frickn’ Fun. Soccer makes me CRAZY HAPPY! and now, I’m in a small town and wanting to watch the world cup (9am, go Croatia!!) and can’t think of anywhere to go. Pooor me. 🙁 Sometimes I do miss the city life.
