from Eating In The Light Of The Moon: How Women Can Transform Their Relationships With Food Through Myth, Metaphors & Storytelling
“In our culture, we value sunshine, daylight, and summertime over moonlight, nighttime, and winter. We notice if the sun is up or down, whether it will be a sunny or overcast day, but pay little attention to the moon and its phases. Likewise, we have to value only the masculine principles of direct action; single-minded focus; clear, logical thinking; goal-oriented, competitive behavior; linear structure; productivity; and achievement. We are uncomfortable with the feminine qualities of stillness, ambiguity, and emotion. We become impatient with cooperative, relationship-oriented attitudes, and see aesthetics, intuition, nurturance and earthiness as unimportant.”
Really like that quote. I'll have to check out her book. Thanks for sharing this!
