A poem shared by Susan

Sacred Journeys, A Womanʼs Book of Daily Prayer, Jan L. Richardson, p.35

Generation to Generation
From generation to generation
women meet in common spaces,
sharing sacred places
in the journeys of our lives.

From generation to generation
women call to women-kin,
yearning deep within
to be seen with Spirit-eyes.

From generation to generation
women risk, their fears confessing,
and seek out words of blessing
to melt away the scorn.

From generation to generation
women sing out of the shadows
and labor in the echoes for the holy to be born.
