Equilibre

It's all about balance, as far as I can see.

Balance between family and career, balance between nurture and nature, balance of interests, balance of energy. Returning to balance when power has been acquired or given away. And balance in creating a new wave of feminism that is all-inclusive, for men and women, for different cultures and races, different backgrounds. Which means there can't be only one, but there must be many, and there must be some balance between them. The project of moving from third-wave to a fourth-wave requires a simple, calm, listening energy. One of balance.

She said to me "I don't want to think about boys all the time! It's disturbing my goddess energy." I said, I hear ya lady. And not because you shouldn't be thinking about love or sex or interaction with genders alike or different, but because your interests right now are all about discovering what's within and nurturing that.

And also because it requires trust that whomever you are meant to share your life with will come along at the right time. And he or she will be ready for you and you will be ready for him or her. And not before then will you truly connect. And in the mean time you have some preparation to do - some creation and discovery. Of yourself, of your spirit, of your work, of your place in this world as a woman of the 21st century.

When you trust in this you are freed from the activity of following your wandering thoughts into fantasy/worry/make-believe land where it's all about the boy (or the other girl). You have so much more space and energy to think about and create all those other things. There is peace and from that peace can arise creation.

Keep swinging, it's fine, you are not a pendulum, you are a goddess finding her feet on this earth and you will soon find the centre point and you will be balanced. And then we can give life.
