Hi Ron,

I've tried a few times to bring up this topic.  There are 
problems.  I think that feminine power is buried so deep that words 
have taken flight.  It's one thing to celebrate the Mother of the 
Universe, and quite another to talk about it.  I think it would take 
some really deep intimacy to even bring it to the surface.  Deeper 
than even poetry would allow, because the language has gone missing.
