QUOTE : I am not delicate.<br />I am skinny dipping at 2am;<br />I am dancing naked under the full moon and playing in the mud.<br />I am the reverberating echoes of a curse word ricocheting off the steeply sloping mountain you thought I couldn’t climb;<br />I am bare skin in the deepest depths of winter; I am the song of courage, and the melody of freedom you long to sing.<br />I am a fearless mother.<br />I am a passionate lover; a devoted friend.<br />I am the healer, the witch, the nurturing of your wounds.<br />I am the heat of a wildfire, the rage of a storm.<br />I am strong.<br />Delicate things are pretty-cute, even.<br />But I am not delicate.<br />I am wild, fierce and unpredictable.<br />I am breathtaking.<br />I am beautiful.<br />I am sacred.
