If there comes a time when the women of the world come together
Matthew Arnold predicted in the 19th Century: "If ever there comes a time when the women of the world come together purely and simply for the benefit of (hu)mankind, it will be a force such as the world has never seen."
I love this quote and am reminded of it because of Medea and Cindy today. Maybe Cindy and Code Pink are just the beginning of a world movement of women. If women do unite for this common cause I believe it will be a force that the world has never seen and just might be what is needed to end this senseless killing.

1. I think that's why most cultures keep women down
Men know if women were in charge, we'd take away their toys and never let them play war again.

3. Here She Comes
Edited on Mon Mar-06-06 08:07 PM by SpiralHawk
"Since my earliest spiritual awakenings, I have heard variations on a teaching passed down over many long years in the oral tradition. The teaching suggests that as the old world is passing away, but before the new world is fully born — in an era of unrelenting crisis — the feminine spirit will rise to heal the chaos, the madness, the willful destruction of the Earth.

"As various elders have said to me over the years, watching the feminine spirit rise is somewhat like watching grass grow. It doesn’t happen all at once, or dramatically, but it happens all the same..."
