I have been thinking of you and hope you are doing well.

This is truly a dark and terrible day for the world and I fear it will only get darker before we see clear skies.

it really does help, in times like these, to connect with those in the world who are sane, compassionate, and want what is best for her people.

Now we just have to convince the greedy bastards that there is more money in survival than destruction.

I used this picture years ago in a thread about Mother Earth. I love it. Women are all part of the earth.

There appears to be several similar earth sculptures at different botanical gardens around the world.

It might be from The Risley Moss Nature Park in England.

That is what our current political turmoil is about. The patriarchs (and they are women as well as men) are losing their power to the matriarchs.

that we are moving into an egalitarian time. The matriarch extended for the first 50-100 millennia, followed by the patriarchy which was precipitated by unbearable conditions. One theory suggests that banishment was the ultimate punishment as few could survive without the group. Those that did wreaked hell on that civilization until it was only a memory.

So, I think that the true swing has to be toward equality. It is not the intent to dominate; but to participate, for parity. But of course, this is just my opinion.

upward spiral - there is a leap of progress, then a backlash, then a leap of progress and a backlash.

Like three steps foward, then two back.
