My son wore to school today a beautiful necklace with a shiny bead on it (a “gem,” as he calls it). His mom gave it to him and It is very special in his eyes. My spouse asked him what he would do if someone told him that it was for girls. He seemed a little puzzled at the question but I instructed him to simply say: “That’s ok, I like girls (and gems!).” Today is a historic day, and I’m very excited, proud, and optimistic about the good prospect of electing our first Woman president, but, simultaneously, sad that it has taken this long. May we continue to be lured by the divine feminine (ruach) toward greater compassion, beauty, love, holiness and away from destructive, oppressive, violent patriarchy.
