make peace with all the women you once were.
lay flowers at their feet.
offer them incense and honey and forgiveness.
honor them and give them your silence.
listen.
bless them
and let them be.
for they are the bones of the temple you sit in now.
for they are the rivers of wisdom
leading you toward the sea.
— i have been a thousand different women
