Ok … The last poem tonight? What do you think?

No title yet. Rummaging through your things, thinking about what to take, and what we leave behind us. A bullet sounds in the night, black, so loud and penetrating. Everything you need to do your crack. Falls Hard on the ground, moving itself quickly in the corner, the only source of peace. Cradling his head on his knees, his body begins to tremble. Uncontrollable shaking, leaking substances in water, its mystical blue eyes gray, raining tears on his cheeks. push, black hair and clear of course, begins to look at. Almost in despair, finally found. She feels the edges, he found his own sword. Framework for the dry throat, taking his last breath, and the rapid movement of your arm, Drop Dead Field. bodies are still to be discovered, so that his father knew it was too late, that should never had been, would have been responsible, would have simply loved.

Beautful haha. Do not dream of trying to top that one tonight. good night and everything.

-The Ghost of Periods Past-

-The Ghost of Periods Past-

‘-Is it just me?!’ ‘-Am I losing my mind??!’

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve been asked that question by a fellow perimenopausal / Menopausal woman at one of my seminars, or read those same anguished words in the emails we receive regularly via our Menopauserus.com Inbox– or in the routine postings found on menopausal chat sites- I’d be a very rich woman today!

No matter where I go or who I speak with, this is a recurring, fearful theme that most middle aged women suffer from and labor under.

The thought struck me not too long ago, that as women, we are so much better prepared to experience our first period than we are our LAST period.

Society in general- and our parents in particular- had alot riding on our coming of age- and our wise handling of the consequences;

Unprepared, sexually active young women can rain down a host of inconveniences upon their families: unplanned pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, cycles of pain and/or physical illnesses that have lasting impact.

Health classes- and in some cases, close and trusted family members, taught us about our developing bodies, while magazines bombarded us with not only fashion and makeup tips, but How To articles.

By the time we reached puberty, most of us had a reasonable handle on how the process would unfold before us and what it was technically all about.

-Sadly, that’s just not true for us today as we face the winding down of our reproductive cycle.

It’s a proven phenomenon that young girls who are taught to feel positive about the act of menstruation and the process of womanhood, seem to have fewer medical issues surrounding their cycles; less pain, less cramping, less emotional symptoms.

One has to wonder, if we as women were taught to embrace Menopause instead of viewing it as an ‘ending’ a ‘loss’ a time of ‘illness and aging’- and an ‘enemy to be conquered at all costs’- would we fare better with the process?

–I believe the answer is a resounding ‘YES!’

There are certain aspects of the Menopause journey that women seem afraid to talk about, share or even acknowledge, but it’s these very aspects that provide the deep, profound and rather mystical side to Menopause.

By ignoring these aspects, we miss a key opportunity to embrace the very essence of

Womanhood and Life itself.

Please make note that when I speak of the ‘mystical’ aspect of Menopause, I am working from this definition: ‘Having an import not apparent to the senses nor obvious to the intelligence; beyond ordinary understanding’.

That’s important to bear in mind as we proceed…

The process of Menopause- for most women- brings with it a host of strange feelings and occurrences- not of body per se…not strictly of emotions per se… and not of mental discord per se.

There is something that accompanies the Menopause process that is rather profoundly that of Spirit; a sense memory deep within most women that transports them- often when they least expect it, step by step- on an emotional review of their lives.

Without warning, memories we haven’t recalled in years will resurface- sometimes in snippets-often-times fully formed as though we were experiencing them for the first time; graphic memories from our young years: our first kiss, the feel and scent of our first boyfriend… how that first silky, slinky fabric felt against our skin…our first sexual encounter…

Aches and pains from long forgotten injuries can act up from out of nowhere at this time too… cravings we used to have and had long ago overcome now resurface…literally, voices from our past can be heard echoing in our minds…various scenes from our past can play out before our eyes- just like a scene from a movie projected on a screen…

Our mature self is brought directly into contact with the ghost of our young self once more almost as Spirit’s way of saying ‘Look. Look how far you’ve come and how very much you’ve blossomed on your Life’s journey!’

Sadly, instead of allowing this phenomenon to occur-and thus reaping the rewards, benefits and freedom that these ‘visitations’ bring with them, many women clamor to stifle them, remove themselves from them- shut them down out of fear, anguish, panic or pain.

Our Inner Self is speaking- and we should listen. She has so much to say to us…so much to reveal…

Menopause is so much more than just an inner shifting of hormones and a cessation of our reproductive fertility. It is a plateau on Life’s journey and should be treated with reverence, respect- and appreciation. It is not an ending- but is instead a beginning.

-A beginning of Life lived with wisdom, maturity- fullness and freedom.

Perhaps if we chose to change our perspective of the process just the slightest- we would no longer choose to see ourselves as ‘aging, infirm victims’ in need of medications and surgeries to ‘fix’, ‘disguise’, and ‘overcome’.

Perhaps if we chose to change our perspective of Menopause just the slightest- we would find that we are much deeper vessels than we ever realized… and from our deep internal cisterns, there is much healing water left to pour forth.
