Listen to the women's voices

These mothers are risking their lives to champion what so many of us are yearning for within. Meet Reem and Yael, the leaders of @themotherscall. They each lead their own separate orgs. @women.of.the.sun_ empowers Palestinian women to become influential leaders in political, economic, and decision making forums. @womenwagepeace formed in 2014 as an effort to bring Israeli women into conversations for peace building through diplomatic negotiation and building trust across divides. I have been moved by Reem and Yael’s commitment to speaking out against the painful status quo for both Palestine and Israel. I am moved by how strong, creative, and smart all the women on their teams are. The song you hear is a work in progress song I cowrote after a year of getting to know their work. I was VERY intimidated by this task. However, the determination of these women inspired me. We plan to translate the song into Hebrew and Arabic. Maybe I’ll also add some more non lyrical hmmms and ooohs to invite all language speakers… we shall see in time, as this project is going to be an ongoing one… *also thanks for the patience with my clumsy thumbs misspelling Israel in the video’s overlay text*

Today is the first day of spring, and we are so thrilled 💚🌱 Maybe it's time to follow Mary Oliver's advice, to break out and act like the wild, springy things we once were.

Clarity is understanding that life, just as it is, is happening for me, not to me. xoxo bk

The mind can meet the new only when it is not burdened with memory. —Krishnamurti

Context: Memory continuing on and on is incapable of understanding. Therefore a mind seeking continuity can never meet the new. Therefore your mind should not be interested in accumulating; and it can meet the new only when it is not burdened with memory. Similar is the case with your thought and with your feeling.
