In Honor of Women’s Month
Women’s Month is almost over, but I can’t help but share my thoughts. What is a woman? She is a mother. She is a sister. She is a daughter. She may not be all these things. In fact, a woman can be anything she wants to be. She can be a doctor, a teacher, a judge, a police officer, a scientist, a lawyer, etc, etc, you name it.
Yet hers is the ability to breathe life, sometimes even giving life. For in her are the gates of life, bringing new light into the world. You can see a glow to a pregnant woman, as though a fire burns within her. And yet, even those who don’t or can’t give birth to children, it doesn’t make them any less of women. They still birth a certain life to the world. It’s a life of hope and love. Within them burns a light, a light we men don’t possess. That’s not to say men are useless. On the contrary, we provide our own uniqueness to the world. But I digress. There is a way that women see life, though subtle, that makes a huge, but positive, impact in the life of all those around them. I wish I could explain, but I can’t.
I can’t explain because, as I previously mentioned, women aren’t consigned to stay in the house — unless they love being a homemaker, which is a beautiful thing, too — but are able to let their lights shine in a profession, whether it be the arts, law, education, building, science, you name it. Whether it’s in the office or the law firm…
