My New Moon Release

Women's bare feet in a circle, chanting songs of strength, setting fire to dried twigs, and sharing our New Moon releases. With their strength and mine I released Regret... the regret that has found its way into my belly, my womb. It is a morsel that has grounded its roots within this year. I release it and more importantly, the denial I have about feeling it. "I am not a creature of regret" I can still hear myself proudly saying to others and to myself. This conviction was so true that I had not recognized the awful little fear ridden thing growing inside me - so I ignored it. The truth is, I do have regrets. Admitting this is my truth before the New Moon.  Releasing it is my truth after.
