Peiyachi

yesterday I was humbled 

I had walked past this goddess in the temple and have hardly ever dared look at her 

she looked monstrous to me, canine teeth protruding eyes bloodshot, a heavy woman, and worst of all, pulling out the innards like so many sausages on a string

I always walked past quickly somewhat reviled 

but I am humbled today

for the feminine need not always be shapely, kind kind benevolent..

the feminine can also be ferocious and worthy of respect and reverwnce even then
