Written on the eve of International Women’s Day

STORM ALERT

It is International Women's Day and, after a full day 
of doing doing doing, this evening I am celebrating 
by listening to myself breathe, by swatting away 
the voices that insist I should be doing something other 
than this, by laughing at the word should. I am celebrating 
by praising this wild, wondrous woman inside of me 
who is finally learning how to listen to the sound 
of her own voice. Not just listen but bow deeply 
to this thundering one inside. I bow too to every woman 
I have ever been, and not been. And to you, dear woman, 
the one who is here breathing with me, the one
who is here laughing at anything that tries to stuff her 
into smallness. There is a mighty storm brewing, 
a force of fierceness that will blow the roof off 
of every false thing. Do you hear the distant rumbling?
