snow angel
It has snowed quite a bit in the past week. We have a clean five inch layer of powder over everything, except the roads. I had forgotten how much I love snow. I find myself on the porch, bundled up, looking at the landscape during the day... unless I am tromping through it with my dog, Sam.
Driving home today, I saw the most beautiful sunset. I was in Kentucky and I looked up to see a snow covered hill leading up to an orange-red sky. One horse was in silhouette atop the hill; he was standing next to a naked tree. My only wish was that I could share it with someone. Sam was not interested and no one else was around.
"Lesbianism is the one issue that deals with women reacting positively to other women. All other issues deal with men and the society they have built to contain us. The real questions are: Why are women afraid of one another? Why does the straight woman throttle the lesbian? Why do women keep insisting this is a bedroom issue and not a political issue, when in fact, this issue is at the bottom of our self-image? If we cannot look at another woman and see a human being worth making a total commitment to-politically, emotionally, physically- then where the hell are we?"
