Character Essay


Feb 8 2011

Death of former spouse has exposed me to the reality of financial/security lack.

But the true issue is my character.  Do I have courage?  It’s true I have been loathe to give myself permission.  Given the emphasis on paternal culture which rewards a woman’s precociousness with shunning or worse, I find myself leaning harder into my Celtic roots, farther and farther from the children of Abraham, wondering what it is like to be a Druid.

Or a Bard.

To refresh the minds of those who need to remember who they are; that they cannot be valued with currency or clothing or style of life, but there is a priceless value to their souls.

Jung states, without the foundation of the past, we are in chaos.  

This is the chaos I have grown up in.  I have had a cultural foundation that is not congruent with my soul.
