"SHE HAS ARRIVED." There
is no need to shout. Her dignity, her bearing, her presence
all command attention. Her crown is evident, it is the
vest that depicts her station in Life, all that she has
accomplished and in those accomplishments ALL the possibility
that continues to exists. Her quiet presence belies the
patrician respect from everyone who knows of her. She is
the Triple Goddess, the integration of all that has been,
is and will be. She represents Maiden, Mother and Crone,
regardless of her age, it is the accumulation of her experiences
that define her. Her walk is both humble and proud; her
movements bear the weight of the world but appear effortless.
She has been all aspects of the Goddess, from Kali, Gaia,
Changing Woman or Tlazolteotl. Her vest depicts the story
of her life, celebrations, achievements, hopes. Her time
is focused on realizations, not regrets. She is undaunted. |
A vest has an ancient history. It
has signified roles of power, one's position in a group,
and that the bearer is the magical or spiritual repository
for imparting sacred energy. It has served as a symbolic
mantle in recognition that the bearer is accomplished and
respected. It denotes a sign of affirmation that one has
indeed arrived. |
