For the women of the past, present and future
Monday, March 08, 2010
Dedicated to every woman.
These wonderful poems were written by women of the past, and yet they are still a source of profound reflection, courage, beauty in the time we live now. They are timeless.May they inspire you to love yourself as you are and be grateful in who you are.
May you let the message through these saintly women' s words reach deep into your heart, and sooth gently the pains and the joy of being a woman in this modern age.
Marylin Monroe's famous quote: " I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it."
So let us be, dear women.
Always keep in mind that the skin wrinkles, the hairs turn white, days are transforming in years.
But what is truly important does not change; your strength and your conviction have no age.
Your spirit is the glue of any spider web.
Beyond every arrival line there is a new departure
Beyond every success there is another disappointment.
While you are alive feel alive.
If you miss what you used to do start doing it again.
Don't live out of yellowed pictures
keep going even though everybody expects you to give up.
Don't let the iron in you become rusty
See that, instead of pity they give you respect
When because of your years you can't run, walk fast.
When you can't walk fast, walk.
When you can't walk use the stick
but never restrain yourself!
Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Your hair, your face
What is it
you want to change?
Your hair, your face, your body?
Why?
For God
is in love with all those things
and He might weep
when they are gone.
St. Catherina of Siena
I would cease to be
God
dissolved my mind-my separation.
I cannot describe now my intimacy with Him.
How dependent is your body's life on water and food and air?
I said to God: "I will always be unless you cease to Be,"
and my Beloved replied,
" And I would cease to Be if you died."
***
I found completeness when each breath
began to silently say the name of my Lord.
St. Teresa of Avila

Thank you for these inspiring words and poems. Following your blog with interest.
dear milena, i have met you once in the mol munich - or a couple of more times, i can not remember, since i only went to be with the group for some weeks. i remember you clearly, for i was taking coaching sessions with sybille. i remember being told that you were an angry woman. i am reading your blogg now for some hours - can you believe - and it makes me shiver. you are so brave and clear. i know that i always felt arkward amongst most of the people, but tried to silence my mind. after all, it did not hold me for a long time. i remember the unbelievably expensive intensive and people coming right after to ask us for donations. i remember the letters i wrote to mazzerati and the show they made at the party when the intensive ended. and the feeling of emptiness when i was supposed to feel filled with ove and joy. i met two beautiful people in mol, one of them still being a great friend. she is somehow going through this not really being harmed. i remember very shy people made to stand up in public to tell a joke - a lame one - and everybody feeling forced to laugh. i thought: this is just not true. it really took me to find your blogg. i thought of you as such a devoted follower. i love you for what you did. your writing is so sharp and makes me feel so deeply sorry for the people. i am sure a lot of the deciples feel the fake and are too scared to eave. they do build a love nest. life is a lonely planet for me too. but i can not hand it over to get some shiny fake. thank you for questioning. thank you for staying the angry woman.
Thank you for your comment. Yes indeed I was a devoted disciple and gave my best all the time, till my healthy anger made me question the authority of Mol and their sick ways. Me and Sybille were not only working for MOl together but also good friends. She like any other mol friends disappeared from my radar when I openly discuss my doubts. Then I had to realize how much manipulation and self interest were even in those people. Nothing to do with true love and care, which in fact doesn't exist in MOL.
I suggest you to read further on the matter of cult indoctrination to completely free yourself from those deep conditioning even though you were in "only few weeks". The traps of fake love are so insidious. Better be prepare.
I wish you luck and peace of mind, heart and soul. Milena
