What do women do?
When women are healthy, this is what we do:
We gather together to support one another.
We know as women we can embrace with our arms and our hearts and our thighs.
We know that as women we are able to assess a need and find a way to fulfill it.
We know that as women our children and our families are more important than anything.
We know that as women that which affects one of us affects all of us.
We know we are connected in love and spirit to all women across the globe.
As women, we love, we understand, we grow, we feel, we know, we dream, we despair, we laugh, we weep, we live, we feed, we desire, we create, we accept, we learn, we believe, we give and as we do we hold the world steady.
When women are healthy, we understand the difference between anger and righteous rage.
When women are healthy we understand and forgive each other’s weaknesses and failings with patience and love.
As women, we are often asked to open our purses to important causes we champion both near and far, and we are grateful when we're able to do so.
Whenever we can, this is what women do.
Often we are moved to open our homes in welcome and feast and celebration.
Whenever we can, this is what women do.
Sometimes we are moved to open our homes to those in need.
Whenever we can, this is what women do.
Many times we are asked to forgive and forget pain and neglect, hurtful words and behaviors.
When we can, we make the effort. This is what women do.
Women’s true worship is in the heart that rejoices.
All of our acts of love and giving and mercy are in service to what we hold sacred.
This is what women do.
When we are healthy, we do what must be done.
When we are healthy, we know who we are.
