Why is it so susceptible to understand
that because I am a woman I cannot stand?
That because I am a woman my thoughts are tainted
laced with emotion with which men are not acquainted?
That because I am a woman I'm expected to be below;
men are supposed to be smarter and I can't know how to grow?
That because I am a woman I'm thought to choose the path of a mother,
because a life without children is unfulfilling and ill suited for another?
It is because I am a Woman that I am equally as strong;
I can stand on my own and otherwise is where you're wrong.
It is because I am a Woman that my thoughts are divine;
they are different, they are beauty, and they are all mine.
It is because I am a Woman that my abilities are so vast;
I exceed in different skills, but that's no reason to contrast.
It is because I am a Woman that my mother's dedication is not unnoticed;
her love and strength permitted me to become in other areas devoted.

The world in which we live, is constantly changing, and this applies even more so in these days in which we live. With the implementation of AI into the workplace, people are beginning to fear for their jobs. With the rumors of wars circulating across the globe people are falling into fearful states, that are spurred on by changes, the likes of which we have never in human history, experienced before.

The Business of Nature
Dew drops reflected the light of the sun. The inhabitants of Whispering Woods woke up to the golden droplets of water on the leaves of the flora. The oaks particularly enjoyed the light and the maples did, too. Happiness enveloped all who lived there, even the rocks that cried out in the night delighted in the morning.
