No Matter

No matter that I am a woman
and that makes me less than human in the eyes of some;
No matter that my story will go mostly untold.;
No matter that the stories
are all of men that surrounded Jesus;
No matter that the religious institutions
don’t allow women to teach;
No matter that the relationship
of greatest importance is not spoken of;

No matter for the truth
is written indelibly in the hearts of women
throughout all ages and all times.
No matter for the love of God
surpasses all prejudices, all history, and all slights.
No matter for the record stands in the heavens
as to the truth of All That Is.
No matter for day by day
our lives can testify to greater truths.
