“Could it not be that just at the moment masculinity has brought us to the brink of nuclear destruction or ecological suicide, women are beginning to rise in response to the Mothers call to save her planet and create instead the next stage of evolution?

From childhood on, had now so much

Down to her cell and there alit,
And there endured her fingers touch
And from her fingers ate its bit.”
