Debunk the Patriarchy
When the sweet water becomes saline
Bright light into dark
When life becomes death
Death is in life
Shiva is Shakti and Shakti is Shiva
Blue and red create purple
Woman and man birth life
Black and white encircle infinite possibilities

The view of inclusivity is inherently matriarchal in essence; listening to all perspectives from the understanding they are all facets of the one, allowing our breath to expand and our attachment of control to loosen, dropping into trust - what may seem conflicting converge in a common ground.
We live in a civilization that has been following for several thousand years a trend toward patriarchy; Tenaciously favoring linear thinking and hierarchal model of control of resources and society over intuitive, emotional, and somatic intelligence.
We have moved away from an intimate relationship to nature and her subtle and dynamic shifts. We have moved away from the mother in myriad ways, and we invest all of our resources, intelligence, and faith in a “top-down” model of political, spiritual, medical, economic, and educational structure. That view inevitably results in scarcity and fighting over resources and control. This social structure breeds fear and manipulate us to give away our power.
No more!
I envision a world where we allow new and challenging ideas to inspire us rather than to feel threatened by.
A world where teachers empower their students to discover their strengths and unique ways of learning, their passion, and their joy.
A world where medical professionals are invested in healing the whole rather than dissecting the parts.
A world where spiritual leaders guide us to find the divine within.
A world where resources are shared abundantly for all to enjoy and to innovate.
A world where your wealth is mine, your success is my interest, your growth is my joy, and your opportunities my peace.
A world in which we can celebrate our variances and our communion.
A world your empowerment does not equal my weakness.
There is a way to cohabitate this planet without fighting over it. The way of the mother is of loving unconditionally, giving generously, choosing trust, and investing in true collaboration across all planes of existence.
We each have a unique part to play in our life arch. There are no solid limitations, the climate is dynamic, so let us dance with what is, let us fully accept and embrace our pain and our joy, our difficulties, and our irreplaceable strand of brilliance. And let us continue to follow the signs.
We are never alone. Touched and moved by our environment, by divine presence, by one another, inspired by the spiral of natural flow, I trust we are all intimately connected in the marvelous web of life.
