I saw K.D. lang singing on tv last week and as I watched her, all masculine on the outside, pure feminine on the inside-I thought she looked like a happy cat sunning herself on the terrace.
"I want to look like that" I thought-like a happy cat, belly full, fur all cleaned and smiling away to myself.
It looked like the face of a liberated woman.
No makeup, flowing robes (yes, she looked like she was wearing robes), bare feet and that voice all came together to form the zen of k.d. Lang. Lots of creativity flowing out of her, totally not giving a shit whether she fit the mold of who she was supposed to be. She knew who she was.
I began to think about what was my version of a liberated woman-and what I need to accomplish before I can feel like that cat sunning myself on the terrace in all my glory-at least as much of the time as i can weather.
It doesn't involve looking young, owning whatever item of clothing I am supposed to want, or having a certain lifestyle. It is mostly about doing the things which move me closer to God-to living in a way that brings me closer to the hearts and lives of the people I care about, and to my own hearts desire. To placing myself in the sun, so to speak.
what is your version of Liberated?

Your thoughts are clearly going to direct you in this way.
You're partly there.
Hey, I missed that other part, the million dollar question...get back to ya on that one.
KD does wear robes, it looks like and she sings bare foot. I love that. I'm looking to find that woman within me. She's there, I know it.
