Creativity, Comedy and Womankind

Creativity is the most valuable currency of humankind. Without it, we are doomed. When humans first evolved on the earth there were so few of us and so many resources. As we learned and our brains grew we became adept at harnessing the natural world for our gain and growth. You could see humankind as a plague, the way we have ravished this once-healthy planet. We are now (and have been for some years) at the brink of a precipice. What will save us? The very ingenuity that got us here! And though the task seems daunting, we can always turn back to ourselves for new ways to humour ourselves, new ways to build comraderie, and endlessly brilliant new ideas.

Comedy is a pleasant form of truth. We look at ourselves in the mirror and we shake our heads - "how did we get here?" If we can laugh, we are open to learning, to evolving, to growing and changing and if not continuing on the same path, recognizing that there are others to follow.

Womankind does not forget the importance of the sensual. Touch, sound, taste. Silence, temperature, vibration. The subtle essences of life that often elude men, we women live and breathe. Like ferns and orchids and plakton, we feed oxygen back into the atmosphere. Men and children luxuriate in the blessings of womankind.

Today, let's celebrate CREATIVITY, COMEDY AND WOMANKIND! Three precious human traits of our shared experience.
