Boys and girls...

Recently, I started seeing the raise of strong feminine voices coming forth in the internet and in real life. (yay!) Not semi naked girls in yoga poses but real authentic women sharing their stories, standing proud in all their glory. It is strangely unfamiliar to me, in the patriarchal world where I grew up. In this swamp, women can only survive in two ways. A, you are either cutesy, beautiful, good at making the man feel and look good... or B, you are silent, subservient and very very useful to the man.

Today I see a glimmer of hope through the muck to.. dare I say, an option C! A world where you might not need alcohol to sleep with your boss, starve to fit into that bikini or fight other women for some guy you don't even like. Through fluctuating between option A and B and failing miserably at both... I have finally arrived at the possibility of option C! The complete acceptance of oneself in all of one's incredibly flawed humanness, belly fats and insanity. Together with this new tribe of women, it is incredibly comforting to see that gentleness, beauty, sweetness and kindness can go hand in hand with strength, courage, acceptance and intelligence.

We all have choices to be a part of the problem or the solution. Perhaps, behind all these time based dualities, there are no concepts or qualities. There is only consciousness or awareness being itself that allows everything to arise. Boys and girls... can we please find the courage to choose consciously? As Nancy would say... just say no to fifty shades of devolution and other dumb shit. Think of your daughters, nieces and evolution! Namaste!
