I never understood the power of Lady Liberty until something that happened a few years ago. I was reading an issue of Sage Woman and Lady Liberty was the Goddess of the Month. A friend, originally from Iran, looked over my shoulder and saw the picture and mentioned that her (then) 3 year old daughter loved Lady Liberty. I made a copy of the drawing for her daughter to color (or not). Some time later, this same friend took her daughter to Iran for the first time - she hadn't been back since the revolution in 1979. When she got back here, she told me she literally kissed the ground. It was the first time I understood what the ideal Liberty represents really means to some people.
