Why does it even matter?

Why does it matter? Why matter? Why Mater? Mother, Why?

Matter is the feminine aspect of everything. An essential balancing partner to all consciousness. COnsciousness, awareness, light, this is the masculine. Darkness, matter, the fecund earth, this is the feminine. Both are essential for a happy healthy world.

So what does it matter? Well look look around. Do you see the healthy feminine anywhere? Is she in the church? Is she respected in politics? Is she revered in our homes and in our schools?

... think about it.

As a culture we debase and torment femininity in all it's forms. Eve Ensler says that being a GIRL is one of the worst insults in our world. To be feminine is to be emotional, sensitive, vulnerable and embracing.

So if as a culture we have turned our backs on our "mother", then how could our physical bodies or our connection to each other be healthy? We reject our own bodies. When we sneeze or cough we say "excuse me" and act embarrassed. When someone around us suffers we might be courageous enough to offer a brief pat on the shoulder or an awkward side hug but for the most part we have become terrified of any real connection.

Other than fucking, of course. That's ok. I can connect to you but only if it's sexual. And by sexual I mean masculine. We can talk but only if it's intellectual, and by intellectual I mean masculine. We can hang out but only if it's playful and external...and by that I mean, you get the idea.

Look around, I implore you to opwn your eyes and see just where we are as a people and a culture. Please see what no one else wants to see. Please look into the eyes of everyone you meet today and notice what their heart is saying.

We need some healing. Not me. Not you. All of us.

I"m sorry mom. Can I give you a hug?
