A Woman's Strength
Strength is incredible and profound...my strength is incredible and profound, and so is yours. I've had woman say to me, you make things look so easy and effortless, it's not like that for me. And, what I want to tell them, is that it wasn't like that for me either, at first. But just like everything, the more you do something, the motions become automatic, it's muscle memory now. It's not that it was ever easy, it's that you have done it so many times that your body remembers the motions. We learn to survive, even when we are drowning. We learn that the panic we feel when the water is filling our lungs must be kept at bay, that only when we find the calm can we swim. Sometimes we must pull the breath from the depths of our stomachs to make our way to the surface. Panic only burns our oxygen faster. So we learn to stay calm. We learn to breath deeply when we are treading water. We find our strength to survive....
