A Woman’s Power Is Rooted in Nature

“A woman’s power is rooted in nature, in her biology, the intimate knowledge that her body is what all other bodies have come through. Masculine spirituality would see her as the very embodiment of what will lure man “down” to his animal nature, the body. A woman who knows her value and the value of what comes through her becomes the reason for greatness in others. Just as nature can produce awe, a greatness, an art, and draw us away from our busyness and production into the presence — so can the body of woman. The body is able to draw consciousness out of the imaginary heavens and into the natural that is here, becoming what man is looking for in seeking union with above.”
