			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><em>                                         &#8220;It&#8217;s so clear that you have to cherish                                         everyone. I think that&#8217;s what I get from                                         these older black women, that every soul                                         is to be cherished, that every flower is                                         to bloom.&#8221; </em><br />
<strong>—Alice Walker</strong></font></p>
<p>What is it to be female? One of the most amazing aspects of being a woman is our ability to love unconditionally. It is our nature. Within women, there is a substance that flows throughout one&#8217;s being. Spiritual leaders speak of this aspect of consciousness that is present in women because women intrinsically bring the divine into incarnation through their bodies. This that flows throughout the beingness of woman is always there. When we love, we love with this substance that brings consciousness to matter, that lights up matter with the radiance of the divine.</p>
<p>As Alice Walker says, to cherish everyone is the chance to bring reflection to the divinity within each person, and for that matter, every living thing. When we women love fully, from the depths of our heart and body, when we welcome in our own divinity and love from this place, we shine the light of awareness on the Oneness that is Life.</p>
<p>Loving unconditionally, though, is not the province of the ego. It is not about satisfying our desires and wants. Rather, it is trusting our nature as women and acknowledging the sacredness of our female body, so that we can fully embody this female nature and trust what it is here to do. This is the beauty that is inherent in women. This is the nature of females that is being called forth to full expression.</p>
