If women* remember that once upon a time
we sang with the tongues of seals and flew with the wings of swans,
that we forged our own paths through the dark forest while creating a community of its many inhabitants,
then we will rise up, rooted, like trees.
And if we rise up rooted, like trees … well then, women might indeed save not only ourselves, but the world.

*not just women but ALL of humanity.
