WOMAN

I wrote this title and paused, thought and took in a deep breath. Simple, yet cumbersome topic, controversial, misunderstood, sweet ... so many oxymorons, yet very inspiring and inspirational.

Woman! Everyone proceeded from one, so we all are familiar with her. You can call this a tribute to woman, you can even say it's partial or deserved ... that is part of the topic! (laughs)

As everywhere as a woman seems to be, some people have been unable to unravel this dynamic blend of wonder in one gender.

As a child, I had my misgivings about being one, because I saw how misunderstood a woman can be, and how unappreciated her efforts are. I may be biased being a woman, but that was the way it appeared when I saw how many unnecessary restrictions the society places on her, and how the phrase, "a man's world" seemed to echo louder every time one of those restrictions were activated.

Times have changed, traditions have been modernized and modified, but that tag still hangs like an odor that has refused to fade. I used to be interested in being an activist, but mother talked it out of me ... (laughs), but really, whenever an injustice is being meted to a woman, the silent man/woman is a party to that injustice. (That is the activist in me rising ... lol!)

A beauty of creation is what a woman is, so many thoughts trying to gain ascendancy as I think about woman, a woman is a gift, a treasure, and should be treated as one.

Share your thoughts.
