Speaking Your Word, from my book called "Prayers to Mend the Heart" that will be republished one of these days. I read this in The Seven Love Cures Class at the International Feng Shui Conference. About eight women attended the class. It was an incredible healing for each of us.

"Speaking Your Word"
© 2005, leslie goldman, your enchanted gardener

A more intimate knowledge,
a deeper experience,
will surely originate a word.
Thoreau, age 42

I affirm, you drew me to you out of your courage to say what you had to say to me and to others, as much as any apparent weakness you might sense in yourself. It's your right to stand up as a woman. You will never abuse power. It's your right to tell others to back off, to tell others when they are out of line with you. Keep expressing yourself. Keep saying what you have to say. Your anger is rightfully yours to express when appropriate. Your voice is one more that is born now to know its own boundaries.

Our relationship began with you revealing hidden truths long buried that you needed to tell a man who could accept you. I loved you in the spirit of mending your silent voice. May your flesh express your deepest word, and healing pour out over all your circumstances. Your gentle strength is a model for midwifing the entire Earth, and your passion its fullness.

Some people think power is one-up-man ship. This is not correct.
Power is the capacity to cause movement through inspiration.
It is a feminine impulse, an orgasm of God. Keep on being you.
You will never lose for loving,
and speaking your truth
in a world very much coming together through Love.

From PRAYERS TO MEND THE HEART (1992)

About PRAYERS TO MEND THE HEART
A BOOK IN THE SEVEN LOVE CURES SERIES;

BACK COVER:

PRAYERS TO MEND THE HEART is a book to take
with you on your journey into the dark and out again
into the light of growing up. Intended to med the abuse
women now feel with men, and men with women,
this is a book for these earthshaking times. The Earth
returns to fertility now through each of us being the Lover
she is asking for.

Wrtten and illustrated with photos of his garden placed
in this book one by one in the spirit of blessing,
Leslie Goldman offers comfort here and insights for those
moments when "falling in love" has passed; yet the desire
remains to share kindness, caring, and open-hearted communication.

He writes, "In the infinite wonder of the life of every woman,
is the moment to be celebrated that she takes space,
that she learns to relax into taking space."

This book is a call to accept all that sexua| intimacy brings up--
all the gifts. Love never ends, though the intensity of relating
may come and go. Through facing all the lessons loving brings,
we learn we always have a lover and that lover is us.

Through facing all the lessons between us and "giving space,"
through giving space to all our feelings inside, we grow up.
As grown ups, we can allow relationships "space" and still
allow love to stay.

This book belongs in the waiting room of every therapist's office,
and may lessen the time we need to spend there through approaching
co-dependent feelings with prayer and journaling. We can learn to
fully accept the gifts of loving. We can allow our feelings of co-dependence
to lead us to full bodied interdependence and a renewed Earth. We can accept co-dependence as a natural part of growing up. We can learn to "enjoy" our co-dependency while we still have it.

$50.00, self published.
