The Glittering Bird Reborn

De: Barbara Soehner

Narrado por: Barbara Soehner

The words you are about to hear have been ongoing for many, many years. They are not written to make you feel bad for me; they are written more as a lesson to myself. The words were never prethought but always came from some place within me forcibly picking up a pen and putting their utterances down at once. It was as if it was a command from the very depths of me, a strength in me that has always been there. Someone once said it was a goddess in me, the strong goddess who drives us on till we see the truth. The goddess could be God, who allows us to make mistakes but gives us the strength to come out the other end.

It has been a long journey, for I had postponed putting it down and instead kept it all locked away, until I read it one day to someone special and they said, “Oh, that’s good. You should share this, work on it, finish it, then get it published." So, that is why I am doing this now; my truth has finally emerged, the end is filled with my growth, and the end is permission to go on and be.
