Take a Pause to Ponder



In a recent teleconference, Women on the Edge of Evolution, futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard invited us to think of women's life cycles and journeys in an entirely new way. She's got me thinking ...

To paraphrase, here is part of what she said:

In the early stages of our lives, women are usually focused on procreation—the continuation of the species—being a mother, giving birth.

In her fifties, a woman stops producing eggs.

That is when she becomes the egg. 

That is when she becomes the egg.  


Ever since I heard this,  I've been mesmerized by this thought, and pondering ...

I'm in my mid-fifties. The eggs have stopped.  

How am I now the egg? 

How about you?  Are you an egg, too?



I welcome your thoughts about this and am eager to share mine with you this weekend ...
