There is a lot of outrage all over the place. Scrolling through any Facebook feed will immediately meet with a lot of outrage and offense. I am thinking of some of my sisters as I write this. I won’t quote them or direct you to them because I was given a tongue sharp enough to…
This piece struck a cord with my-Self, perhaps it will strike one with you also. Is there a place for the Feminine part of our Psyche to be expressed in the Post Industrial, Post Tech Modern World?
