Sisterhood, Solidarity and Our Mother

It was a pleasure to speak at the Cape Women's Coalition International Women's Day breakfast in front of 200 women. I gave a presentation on WOMR's forthcoming IWD programming, photographed the event, and had the pleasure of being asked last minute to read a poem by Kristin Knowles. Here it is.

Our Mother

Our Mother,
in art and nature,
passionate burns thy flame.
Thy strength is one
with moon and sun
on Earth as up in the heavens.
Teach us the way to lightly tread
and relieve us our distress as
we receive those who would prefer our silence.
And lead us not into frustration
but deliver us from ill will.
For thine is the freedom, power and glory,
herstory,
now and forever.
Blessed Be.nowles beautiful poem "Our Mother".
