see it as a gift, young one

Young one.

You come from a long line of amazing women.

Beautiful, forever young ones

wild,

and

Free souls...

who gravity can't anchor....

Who know they are out of sync, and

have always looked so good in capes.

Women who knew who they were and didn't let others force them to conform.

Broody, mysterious women who drive those who love us nuts, because they can be with us, but not really have us...

We are warrior women.  Strong and brave.

Darling, ride every horse you meet.

Every ledge you come upon, leap knowing that the sky will embrace you and the ground will catch you.

We are part centaur...this wild blood still courses through our veins, your heart will naturally beat in the primordial four hoof beat rhythm.  

You come from circus folk, you have sawdust in your shoes, you will always dream big.

let no one keep you from chasing them all.

Be near water where ever you go. We descend from fisherwomen, mermaids and sirens.

So in tune with our world we are, we sometimes feel things before they happen.

It's just how it for us.  Others will not get this. If you try to tell them you too will get branded a witch, and your life will be made hell. Your sons will not inherit this, only your daughters.

Never be afraid. You will face obstacles that will seem unsurmountable.  know you come from women who have faced crushing life events and came out stronger and still able to smile.

When life gets rough, dig in and fight. Know your from sturdy stock that can do anything.

Be alive, young one. Interact with your world. Explore it all. We were blessed with one heck of an imagination. Never loose it.

Your never going to fit in. We are made from ancient stock. We are the type of women men went to war over. The kind who toppled dynasties.

know how beautiful you are...let no one rob you of your beauty.

Find  people who love you, and aren't afraid of the enormous complexity of your soul. Ones who will gently support you when the magnitude of you mind crushes the fragileness of your soul in it endless war within.

Know there will be times you will be alone. Use that time to explore the depths of your mind and all the great mysteries that lay within it.

Be friends with who ever you want. Sometimes stuffing is stronger then blood. 

The world may not get you at first. Don't worry about it. It's their problem. Be who you are. Accept you are an original. know you are not alone, no matter how you feel. Little one, its just that you are so far ahead of the others blazing the trail that it just seems you are alone. You will find your place...or you will make your place.

The only one who needs to "get you" is you.

Those who don't get you are missing an amazing soul, a sparkly ice cover comet arching through the night sky. It's their loss. Don't waste one second on trying to be who they want you to be.

See your uniqueness as a gift. One passed down through the generations. It was given to me, and

I gave it to you.

Your going to stand out. Your different.

Don't fear the journey. Embrace the adventure.
