A dark feminist blog exploring goddess mythology, modern womanhood, and female power through poetry, essays, and literary analysis.
Keeper of the Quiet Flame
There is a kind of strength that doesn’t roar.
It doesn’t demand attention or burn everything in its path.
It is quieter than that.
It lives in the small moments…
in choosing to begin again,
in tending to yourself when no one is watching,
in holding onto hope even when it feels fragile.
Brigid reminds me that not all fire is meant to destroy.
Some fire is meant to warm.
To heal.
To create.
So if you feel like you’re barely holding it together right now…
that doesn’t mean you’re failing.
It might just mean you’re tending a quiet flame. 🔥🌿✨
