You Just Don't Care Anymore: The Joys of Cronehood
My friend Nia-whose very intelligent blog I recommend by the way- and other friends were rather scandalized to earn that, at 35, I already feel like a crone.It was my fault in a way- feeing like a crone to me is not a consequence of old age.

RIP Shekhinah Mountainwater
I only knew her through some of her writings I found through the web, specially an inspired, intelligent text about the Maiden Goddess.

Pride and Joy: Difference won't eat you, intolerance will
And I’m dancing with the freaks now
I'm havin’, I’m havin’ so much fun
What you sow is what you reap now
I’ll do my dance with everyone

Don’t let them tell you who you are is not enough
