Am I A Feminist?


If you want ideas and odd thoughts come streaming into your mind, just work up a sweat on the treadmill while listening to favorite music. I thought about finding a Remi music video to post. Then I remember a question that I was recently asked. Am I a feminist? Let me say right now that I dont like the misconceptions of that label. Yes, I am a feminist, and let me explain that. I support the feminine. The feminine in women, in girls and boys, in men, in nature, in the world. To me this word equates with unconditional love, nurturing all good and peaceful things, and against hate and destruction. This world is masculine totally, except for nature who is desperately hanging on to the last vestiges of feminine energy. We will see the wrath of the feminine soon, when she calls us by our full name. When we hear our three (or in some cases more than three) word name, just as when we were a child, we will know we are really in trouble now. The feminine uses her all-encompassing awesome power when her domain and her peoples lives are threatened. We are poking the tiger folks!

How To Think Like Leonardo.


Im currently reading a book titled, "How To Think Like Leonardo da Vinci, Seven Steps To Genius Every Day," by Michael J. Gelb. Great book to read when in a slump or just cuz ya like Leo. Thought Id share an exercise or two in this blog. In part two, it asks you to ponder 10 questions. The first one is: When am I most naturally myself? What people, places, and activities allow me to feel most fully myself?
I am most myself during more than just one thing happening, all of them equal. In nature, in a lush green setting, especially in my garden. The weather though, is important for my enjoyment. It must be cooler, clean, and fresh. All bets are off in weather above 80". I have some weird disorder dealing with sun, heat, and humidity. Growing plants from seed to tree gives me great pleasure. I am most like myself around my boyfriend, who allows me to be me, no matter what or who Im channeling. I am not that way around anyone else. I love animals and am able to enter their energy. I love all creatures. I love dogs, especially my Maltese, Lily. She accepts me in all of my incarnations. Music puts me in a beautiful world, where there is no pain, hate, or sadness, only understanding. Dancing is a whole body expression for me. If things had been different when I was young, I would have been a dancer. That about covers it. All those things are are deeply loved and treasured by me. Yes, this is a good book!
