The
BOW
symbolizes that a woman is a gift to the world.
She is strong, attractive, and of worth and value.
X
The bow is associated with female sexuality and sexual power.
Consider how you tie up a bow on a gift.
You put tension on the ribbon and tie the knot,
and
then you release the bow.
This tension and release is seen as symbolic
of
women’s release from social constraints / conventions / bondage.
She is empowered to shape her intimate love stories.
Her choices in relationships are GIANT STEPS that call out
the expanse of each other’s wilderness
– mutual, improvisational, creative, nest/harbor,
simple/complex, a dear balm, beyond…
X
She is unrepeatable, multi-spherical, and an unfolding dance.
X
She is an unrepeatable presence,
an unforgettable dynamic offering
of
sweet wonder,
laughter,
comfort,
boundless wings of FREEDOM,
rapturous elegance,
integrity,
and
awe.
