“Here is me. Maria. Your daughter. I found my way and came to you. So now, Mother, please. What should I do?
You appear in my dreams and see you in the sky. The full moon tells me I should try.
But my shaman here tells me I should not. That my period is an impediment. Is that so? Is that what you would want?
Why made me come all this way not knowing this and then being forbidden to it?
Why made me feel rejected? Guilty and faulty of my own being? Of my own nature?
Maybe this is the test. As one guy tried to tell me and didn’t understand.
For me to be fully healed I need to break free
Of my fears, of my beliefs and the chains I let others tie on me”
