Written December 1999
There is a place in me,
a space in me,
where Sara and Hagar dwell.
Deep inside my heart,
tearing me apart.
Both aspects of who I am.
The me that I reject
and the me that I reflect
as being better than,
superior than,
in order to fill the hole.
The hole so deep.
Two peoples weep.
Is it not time to make peace
with these aspects that dwell
deep within my heart?
Sara and Hagar
connect heart to heart.
Release the past
that has kept you
apart,
right from the start.
Hagar and Sara,
connect eye to eye.
Become the eye of the Universe
to see the truth?
God lives within each of you equally.
Allow Her to manifest peacefully.
Knowing that the separation is an illusion.
So I come to the conclusion
that there is place
and space
for Sara and Hagar.
For Hagar and Sara
to dwell within me
peacefully.
Also on this land,
let us join hand in hand.
Leaving behind history
allowing for her story
to become a reality.
Women of the world unite
the aspects of you,
that you have held so tight
within your heart..
time to stand tall
accepting all as equal
for we are all equal
in the eyes of God.
In the heart of God.
Time to move
from pain to gain.
Time to move from
scared to sacred.
Time to move
From worrier to warrior.
Time to move
from pieces to peace
as we piece together
the part of us that knows the truth.
May this become our reality.
