Dryad,
Yea to your son! (start with the personal and important!)
You have just been so beautifully present with what you have to say. Years ago when I was doing some research about the politics AGAINST women's vote, I was struck at how completely unoriginal the rhetoric over gay marriage has been. Almost word for word, it is what the politicians and the news made coverage of. “It will destroy the fabric of the family” “It is an abomination to God and shouldn't be sanctified by our laws”.
I wonder sometimes if “we” will ever learn. And then…. in the midst of ongoing racism, sexism, and predjudice over a variety of “others”…. I will stumble across the shifts and changes and know that we can fulfill that dream.
I used to think that using logic would get us there. I now think we simply need to honor and remember our hearts. It is the separatism that is killing us in a variety of ways. We are all connected - all one….. and allowing that truth to simply fill us leaves us connected.
I could go on, but you have just been so eloquent!
Jill
