Frida Kahlo -El Sol y la Vida, trans. "Sun and Life" (1947) |
I launched Words of Power in August 2005, so this month marks the site's tenth anniversary.
To celebrate the milestone, I have added eleven new posts to my ongoing narrative. (These eleven posts are backdated, so that they appear in their correct chronological order.)
Five of them are more "Epiphanies," initially published via my Instagram feed:
The other six new posts constitute a series of brief excerpts from the work of great woman writers and philosophers. This series was initially posted via my Facebook page. It furthers the exploration I shared in Notes on the Ascendancy of the Feminine in Psyche (Human and Divine), a talk I included in my tenth book, Planetary Emergency/Personal Emergence: Path of An Evolutionary (2014). In that talk, I featured the life and work of nine great woman mystics and nine great woman artists and photographers. This continuing concentration seeks to contribute to the supplanting of history with herstory for the collective healing and transformation of our species:
- Simone de Beauvoir: "... And Truth Rewarded Me."
- Susan Sontag: "In Place of A Hermeneutics, We Need An Erotics of Art."
- Ursula Le Guin: "To Light A Candle is to Cast A Shadow."
- Doris Lessing: "It is the Storyteller, the Dream-Maker, the Myth-Maker, that is our Phoenix"
- Anais Nin: "Ordinary Life Does Not Interest Me."
- Joan Didion: “I Know What 'Nothing' Means, and Keep On Playing.”
If you resonate with the content of this site, and would like to support my work, all
