It's hard to not feel shame for so much compliance in my own time. Even when I wasn't sure if it would work, I asked my daughter to do what was right, not do what I do, because I knew I was doing it wrong. I asked her to learn from my mistakes and she took the message to heart. It also lead her to not want to be made vulnerable by having children. This is really a major issue. At this point it takes not having children, to choose not being compliant. A cultural heartbreak for the ages.

This took me back to a year long ancestral healing course I took several years ago. I ended up choosing through shamanic journeys my father's male ancestral lineage. I discovered that my matriarchal ancestry was pretty healthy when I was in the process of choosing which lineage to heal. We can heal the matriarchal ancestry by also healing the patriarchal.

Thank you, dear Shiloh, such depth in your words, reaching my bone marrow. While listening to your words, I feel the thread of our ancestors, our grand mothers and the power of the remembering to take all the preciousness and to stand in our truth and ... to make it better, and better.. fulfilling the dreams of all those who walked before us. thank you for this strong thread of connection, thank you for your weaving from the heart, dear Shiloh, sister. LOVE
