recently I was told point blank that life will be difficult due to the sole fact I am an Indigenous woman. the conversation did not stop there, thankfully. a small rekindling. i was reminded that i come from a culture of very smart and diligent people. there is a lot i must unlearn. similarly, there is a sea that requires sonar to relearn. i used the run in the bush like it was the back of my hand. creating stories of greatness.
i am grateful for everything i am.
a theme i have been noticing in my thoughts has been the burning of incense; a muzzled tradition. savage. evil. threatening.
i know i am not the only woman that struggles with finding a voice. the voice that has remained despite the thought police.
