Reaching for the Rainbow Road



"We need to keep breaking down the myths about what women can't do. It hasn't been that long since women were first allowed to run the marathon in the Olympics. It's important to keep expressing ourselves physically."

Ann Bancroft, first woman to reach the North Pole


The many colored veils which make up the Rainbow people of our circle, our group, and the medicine people who stretch back into the cycles of time are empowered by the strength and beauty of feminine energy. Chaos/beauty, strength/vulnerability, endurance and attention to the moment are all the inconclusive paradoxes we carry. There is nothing a woman, who is in possession of her Self, can't undertake in her quest to unfold her nature.

I have a day to address things other than work today, then later, a chance to catch a run in the low light of early evening, if I want. A chance to catch up to myself, to run into my own shadows and light cast upon the long ribbon of roads that wind around the wide sky of my dreams.

Please read my profile and blogs. I think you will find them interesting. One woman who exploded the myth that women could not be scientists was Marie Curie, who won two Nobel Prizes ( Physic & Chemistry) and she was reputed as being a world class mathematician.
