I Should Like to Wake Them

I had a funny thought today...

"I'm so tired of men."

This is funny because I adore a lot of wonderful men who fill my life with grace and strength.

But my shelves--my word!--my shelves are heavy, heavy with male thoughts.

Where are all the feminine voices?

Some are here already, present and accounted for, singing out their lovely songs...

Dillard, Day, Lamott, Oliver, Kidd.

And, of course, you, Ms. Madeleine.

But, oh, there must be so many others.

Wake up, dear ones, wake up!

We need you all so very much.
