The Coming

 

For many years, before I knew her name, she visited in spirit. She came by way of visions and dreams. She never took on a body, during this time. Her energetic presence was one to reckon with. There was no choice but to acknowledge she was present. Curiously, I acknowledged her and sought after her purpose in coming to me. To my surprise, this energy wanted to incarnate.

I wondered, “Out of all the people in the world, why she would want to manifest through me?”  At the time, I was learning what a woman was not. Worldwide, societies defined ‘woman’ by gender roles. She cooked, cleaned, took care of children, and provided sex without receiving an orgasm, etc. To be unwed was like a curse. I was willing to die before I conformed to this definition of woman. Therefore, I believed I was incapable of raising a female child to fit into this society.

As time passed, things changed. Her visits became very intimate and I looked forward to the interaction. I had accepted the courageous woman I was; I became bold and fierce. There was still so much to learn about ‘woman’ but I was proud of what I had discovered thus far. I was unapologetic about my choices and I was not afraid to be a woman undefined by society. Most of all, I felt like I had something to offer society regarding womanhood.

She had not visited in a while. After an event that left me paralyzed from fear, I recalled those visits. I realized her visits were not a delusion. These visits were real like the Dogon tribe’s awareness of the star Sirius B. I finally accepted why she came to me. She came to help me discover the feminine energy within me. Following this realization, I wanted to be a mother again.

More time passed by and I found myself skin to skin, making hot passionate love, holding an image of this energy in my mind’s eye, with a man I love. I shared my vision of motherhood with him and he agreed to father our child. Two months later, conception had taken place, and 39 weeks and 6 days from conception, we birthed a beautiful baby girl. I was stupefied that what we had envisioned had manifested.

In the process, there are many processes. For me, the processes have always started before I was aware they had begun. By the time they ended, there was so much to learn.
