We come to love not by finding the perfect person but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.
Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.
Call it “womb awe” or even “womb worship” but it’s not simple envy. I don’t remember even wanting to be a woman. But each of the three times I have been present at the birth of one of my children, I have been overwhelmed by a sense of reverence… It was quite suddenly, the first day of creation; the Goddess giving birth to a world… Like men since the beginning of time I wondered: What can I ever create that will equal the magnificence of this new life?
