Dear black woman,

You mystical thing, you

God was doing some of its best work when creating you

Both of them actually

father god and Mother Nature were having a wholly holy time conspiring on your beauty, love.

I mean seriously, have you taken time to behold the miracle of yourself?

You are the culmination of thousands of years… millennia...

of ancestors and inspiration

Of chaos and peace

Of birth and death and life

And life

You are life

You bring it with you into every room you enter

You open your mouth and life fills the room

You are God’s grace made evident

You are heaven sent

You carry with you the lessons learned of those passed

And the hopes of those to come

It’s easy to forget this with the minutia day-to-day existence

You know, the things that take up space like

Kanye West drama, fan-girling over Beyonce and deciding whether or not to eat chocolate

I get it

But know that those are small things

Specks on specks

And you?

“You mystical thing, you. God was doing some of its best work when creating you. Both of them actually. father god and Mother Nature were having a wholly holy time conspiring on your beauty, love. I mean seriously, have you taken time to behold the miracle of yourself?”

— Brandi Keeler

You are a big thing

A big THANG

An Inconceivable beauty

A gift to this world

A gem of indescribable value

You miraculous thing, you

This life and it’s hurdles will attempt to distract you from that truth

But self talk is powerful and

I know your power

I believe in you

I encourage you
