Something is being asked of women right now that has never quite been asked in this way before.
What is being asked is that women who have been to the depths — who have walked through loss, through shattering, through the kind of transformation that only comes from having everything stripped away — step forward now and offer what they have found there.
Because here is what I have learned: the capacities that grief develops in us are exactly the capacities the world most desperately needs right now. The ability to sit in uncertainty without collapsing. The ability to hold space for someone else’s pain without trying to fix it or rush it or make it more comfortable. The ability to find meaning in the darkness.
The feminine has always known how to tend the threshold — the place between life and death, between the old world and the new. Women have been the keepers of birth and death and all the sacred passages in between since the beginning of human life on earth. That wisdom did not go anywhere. It went underground for a time. And now it is being called back.
You are being called back. Not to perform or produce or achieve. But to show up as someone who has been through the fire and knows that it does not have to consume you.
The world is in a collective grief. And it needs women who know how to grieve consciously. Who know that this is not the end. That is you. That has always been you. And your time is now.
