So what does being in a car for 2 hours alone with a fashion magazine inspire in a woman's mind.....well here it goes.......In the dawn of time when Eve was shamed into sewing leaves to cover her assets, fashion came to be......so what is it's role in the ongoing journey of women's existence? Well one things for sure as divine, godly and beautiful as I am sure Eve was I am positive she did not step out in a potato sack.....so on that note, here is my take on fashion, Sex In The City and the ongoing evolution of women and the universe.
I have not seen the Sex in the City movie nor was I an original and avid fan of the show. I did catch the occasional re-run after my little ones started sleeping through the night and as my hormones kept me up late into the evening........my life did not resemble Carrie's or any of the other ladies characters, in that moment......but it did bring me back to the day's when I was only responsible for myself..........I found it encouraging and inspiring to see sexy, feminine, charismatic characters allowing themselves to delve into and flirt with their personal freedom and allowing themselves the same rights as men (we all know what I'm talking about) whether those choices turned out to be right or wrong.
Why is this of importance to me.......... equality = balance.
It appears that many men have children with a woman and their life is enriched and mainly(and I say mainly) it stays the same, in alot of cases (and I stress again) in alot of cases the woman takes on the majority of the daily responsibility for caring for dependants and in alot of cases this is even if she is also a contributor on the financial front. Women's lives are also enriched with the addition of children, although in alot of cases she is forced to put off or even sacrifice her career which can lead to her feeling a loss of freedom. As the children grow many of these women are then expected to become Wonderwoman, finding a job with a suitable enough income to justify going to work in the first place, finding an employer who is even willing to hire her over some younger counterpart, who just finished being fully educated and is willing to work for much less than she and who has no family issues that interfere with their on the job performance. This is when and where, I am happy to say women shine through, necessity is the mother of all invention and women become imaginiative, inventive and even bold enough to strike out on their own, not leaving their fate to chance, but take the bull by the horn and overcome against all odds. Having said that, there are those who then project that these women are taking away from their motherhood (selfishness) or from their feminine(turning feminine wisdom, strength and intuition into, well let's just not use it the Big "B" word.)
Having lived both sides of the spectrum, I know that having it all is hard (not completely impossible) but hard. My feeling though is that there are alot of misconceptions regarding what the SITC women and maybe even ourselves are trying to achieve......we are not trying overpower the masculine or become so free and independant as to change the rules of nature or for our own selfishness for that matter....we are actually trying to do our job to maintain the balance.....assist in helping in the growth, nourishment and enablement of society in furthering it's acceptance in the value of everyone's right to selfreliance. Women are working daily to balance the scales by maintaining our right to be the equal, opposing, feminine energy.
The universal law of Yin (female/dark/passive) and Yang (male/light/strong) is working constantly to maintain harmony and balance in the world, so.....what I am trying to say is........... if what is considered fashionable or even cheesy to some, helps us to move that much closer to the feminine goal, along with reminding us that taking things too seriously can lead to ........ inbalance, why not allow for slipping on a frilly dress for softness and a pair of gladiator heels and allowing ourselves to be free, bold and true to our own inner divine feminine spark. Let the trends blend with the tides and who knows maybe equality will be the trend we will push forward, bringing about radical changes in the universe, bringing a greater existance of peace, harmony and balance to all.
Maybe Carrie and the girls are making much more of a statement than we see on the surface. Women have long fought for, struggled for, used patience and yes even flirted in order to achieve equality.
As we expand our own boundaries and push forward working to acquire respect and equality of the feminine no matter what stage of life we are in....We find, we may not be represented by the gals from SITC, but what we are is a mix, a blend of all their and all our own most beautiful adornments, both externally and internally.
Women is what we are.......feminine beings ...so take out that drop dead gorgeous dress, slip that heel into a sexy slingback shoe, dab a spot of color on those already sparkling eyes and go out and save the world.....okay, nab that job, rock that date.. mostly be true to and never lose site of your feminine entity, for it is her purpose to maintain equality and balance in every way....it is the way of nature and the natural evolution of life...for us to strive to bring and maintain harmony and peace for all and we should celebrate and enjoy it.
Here's just a little tidbit for all you Mister Big's out there in the "Man's world"....the next time you see a beautiful, confident woman walk by and you are taken by the outside...look deeper, that women is a loving mother, compassionate lover, cherished friend and beneath the clothing, she is projecting her beauty, love and commitment in continuing to make the world go round.......and think of how it would be to live in this world without the other side, without the "the dark side of the moon", always light, no dark; No rest, no peace, no harmony, no balance...need I go on.......
And ladies, my hope is we will continue to strive for and partake in this beautiful quest for harmony, peace and balance, all the while continuing to cherish the "light", the spark that keeps the flame aglow for generations to come and if we get a sexy new dress or sparkly shoe along the way wear them with the universe in mind............
Enough said;...Thank you to the rain.....In Style magazine and SITC for inspiring me to maintain the quest for balance........Man..........if 2 hours in a car with a magazine can inspire all this rhetoric, imagine what can be achieved in a day, a week, a lifetime...........now I have to put on my track pants and do the laundry and the dishes.........Namaste
