If there is a trickier subject for the world to navigate sans euphemism or apology than the white hot rage of a woman, let me know. It is a huge part of my work because wrangling it, learning to understand it without being consumed by its fire and alchemising its lead into gold has been a giant part of my adult life.My current favourite course I am rolling out is Intuition, Self Care and the Shadow. The latter aspect has a shameless focus on our rage, so we may learn how and why she works for us, rather than against us. The world needs us to be galvanised by our anger so we may breakdown the structures built by dinosaurs with dicks. Truly.Poetry Friday is dedicated to women's rage as fabulously framed by Viola Allo.Let us say it withferocity in our voices,for women are not happy,women are angry.Why do we go aroundin such dishonestyand so openly, too?Why do we pretendto be what we are not,why do we smile and say “happy”when, in fact, we women wishto burn the world and throwits ashes into a cosmic sea forever.Why do we act as if we trulycelebrate women and womanhood whenwe only want to use womento make our babies and our food?When are we going tostart being turned-onnot by women’s bodiesbut by women’s minds?When will we use those mindsand award them and reward themand remunerate themand compensate themthe way we do for men?When will we market books and jobsand schools and programs and skillsand empowerment to women?If you are a woman and you live long enough,you know this: life isn’t about your bodybut about what you build,and there are more things to buildthan just more and morebabies and families.You can build a book,you can build a library,you can build a school,you can build peace and safetyfor the children and familieswho are already hereand need care. You can build a community.You can love more peoplethan just one man.You raise more childrenthan just your own child.You can be bigger / braver / bolder thaneverything you’ve been told you are.You can be an amazon.You are an amazon!Even if all you do each day isfight with words and make warwith one poem.Oh Viola, you're reading my mind. Magic words indeed.If the workshop calls loudly to you, details for Singleton are here.If you have a group of women who are interested, get in touch as I am happy to travel to you. It is also included as part of my upcoming Retreat in Wollombi in November.
