Big Nature

I cannot discount the healing power of appreciating nature in this life. I cannot dismiss how much it can help me continue to survive day to day.

If you care about their society, it hurts very much to feel there's nothing you can do to get some people to respect you as much as they automatically would if you had come here in a male body.

Men and women both transit these messages in a huge variety of ways.

Your brother's pain or wishes or needs... constantly more important. 

Yours... dismissed on a regular basis. 

If you turn your attention towards sunlight and trees and mountains, it feels better. These are real and are not men who are in denial about their patriarchal baggage. And they are also not women who are in denial about what the patriarchy has done to train them to dismiss other women's experiences.

Some of the most successful people are still so much in the Patriarchy's clutches that sometimes I just feel despair if I look at them and think of what is going on right now on in society.

But if I look at nature I don't get that same despair.

It's sad that you would've treated me better in a different package.

But if I look at nature....

Maybe we could both do that together and feel more peaceful someday.
