I ask in relation to Trista's writings and related websites, "Could it be that our daughters will stop accepting corporate models of anorexic Barbie Dolls when they begin to accept their true Nature in relation to all-that-is?" A girl should be able to look at her genitals in the mirror and say, "YES! This is the place where life originates. In me is the potential of human evolution, the evolution of all life. In me all is!" This is what we should teach our daughters and sons regarding feminine genitalia.
Trista Hendren is a Certified Facilitator-Coach with Imagine a Woman International. As a Facilitator -- Coach, she helps to escort clients on their journey home to themselves, while inspiring them to vow faithfulness to their lives and capacities. She also helps to support them in weaving the "Imagine a Woman" perspective into their lives, parenting, professions, and relationships. In essence, she is one of many women who are working to empower women. In my opinion, her work is imperative in that if we don't empower women specifically, and the Feminine in general, we may just go extinct. We are destroying the planet, our Mother Earth, because we refuse to acknowledge our Mother Nature. This has resulted in the horrific extinction rates that I have reported on several times in past articles. Inwardly, we are alienated from ourselves and our environment. We have no sense of connection. Religion, as it stands, is counter to its epistemological origin, religere, meaning to connect . Religion as institution is antithetical to religion as verb and is nothing more or less than a mirror to our corporate and political systems.
To connect is to heal ourselves of alienation. When we gaze upon Nature, or into the sparkling eyes of our children or lover, could we begin to see ourselves reflected? Perhaps true religion occurs when we strip off our loin cloths and be who we are in our essence and thus see ourselves reflected in the whole? If you agree, go outside and roll in the grass or play in the mud. Begin there. Then live your life to the fullest while suckling the breast of your Mother Nature. Listen to the heartbeat thumping the rhythms of the cosmos. Feel the wind, Her breath, upon your bare skin. Experience the blood you gave to the mosquito as going forth into the bodies of other insects and, ultimately, into the entire ecosystem of the Earth. You are all life. To make this more concrete, consider again the Navaho chant I so love to quote:
"The mountains, I become it... The morning mists, the clouds, the gathering waters, I become it."
As you contemplate, don't be afraid to add to this poem. The poem is alive! It breathes and grows within you. Don't be afraid to look into the starry skies above and sing "The starry sky I become it. The infinity of space, I become it." Don't think this is silly. After all, the atoms in your body exist in the same proportion as empty space to the stars of the milky way. If you look out into the night sky and realize you are all that, then, be a part of that dance! Stop being apart from it! Teach that connection to your daughters. Teach that unity to your sons. Then, teach both to see themselves in each others' eyes and bodies. Teach them to see and honor God and Nature in themselves.
