Who do I belong to?
For centuries, I have belonged to man.
Without man, I suffered, was ostracised and died
I was expected to throw myself to my death on my husband’s funeral pyre.
My biology caused my slavery.
I had no access to food or security.
No right to be free.
Even God was denied me.
Who do I belong to?
My body has been used for pleasure that I have no part in.
It was bought and sold.
It was no longer living, breathing, sacred.
It was used, abused, dominated and throw away.
I say to you now,
That by the power of the universe,
I take my body back.
I reclaim my mind.
I am the embodiment of the energy of the cosmos.
I harness the beauty and vastness of the nebulae.
My being is sustained by the planets and the stars.
My birthright is divine.
I obey the laws of my own nature.
I commit to a loving relationship with myself and all life.
I honour my body, my mind, my life force, the movements of energy within me.
I belong to this moment.
I belong to all and nothing.
