wonder woman

"What is there to be discouraged about? Gandhi said the victory is in the struggle itself. The struggle itself is the most important thing."

Aung San Suu Kyi


Her life and bravery give me the chills. Her sixth year under house arrest under way and she says the only prison is fear and the only freedom is freedom from fear. I know of some other prisons, but, yeah, fear is a powerful one. May you know freedom, may you be set free.

feminine observed

to be the fair maiden
and not the fair friend
to be the one pursued
and not the one pursuing
to be found lovely
and not found wanting
to be sought
and not to be the one seeking
to be first loved
and not to be the one pining
to be embraced
and not the one dreaming

this is what the woman within me cries
