India- March 8, 2009- International Women´s Day

Today i went to a Goddess Temple... I wore my sari... i talked to myself about what i love about my woman-ness, and our womanness... i prayed for women all around the world... all of them...

i sent my wishes and goodness to all of them, and to the GREATEST woman possible... mother earth... she is the creator, the destroyer, and all that is in between and above and beyond and before...

i made sure that all these women knew it was international womens day.... even the ´poor women´, as one woman working as an engineer said- ´the poor women would not even know'...

so i made sure they would know...

i got the men to explain... ha ha ha... look at what happens when you put a strong (white and therefore significantly privelaged) woman with a voice in charge... all of a sudden, these 'poor' women are celebrated...or at least informed that they are all over the world!!!

Thank G-d, thank Mother Earth... what a beautiful place to be for International Womens day... Tirupati, India...where bald is beautiful... and meaningful...

all over the world, half of the world's population...women

all of them lead such different lives... all of them share complete similarities...

how lovely... some, many are really struggling... and some are really comfortable... in the cold, in the heat, the sunshine, the cold rains... in houses, in huts... with chickens and wild boars, and domesticated cats and dogs... children- too many, one child, grandchildren, no children...

doing solid, physical labour, washing, a housewife, prostitute, CEO... mother...

the lists of diversities, the beautiful neverending, amazing diversities of womyn could go on... and on... I love it all... even if i do not like the situations for all of these woman, i still love them all.

We are woman... we are strong, and powerful, we can be independant, we can be reliant, weak, naive, protected, vocal, activists... but we are all one- we are all the same- we are- we are all women... all around the world... internationally... from village to mountain to city, to sea... in the air, under the water, on the land... we are everywhere...

and thank the greatest Mother for that, she whom gives us the life... to live these beautiful lives as women...

Happy International Woman's day DIVA'S!!!!!
