woman's day

it was a name of a magazine my mama brought home from the grocer..
it is international women's day today..
it is my mama's 4th year anniversary..her death day ~

when i went to cheque it out a bit further..google..
there were big ads for shoes and handbags..
really?
goes to show where women's interests lie, i guess..
handbags..pocketbooks..purses have become big business..
shoes, shoes and more shoes..
okay .... so what else interests us?

wonder what the ads for international men's day would be?

have we come a long way, baby?

i miss my mama and her handbag ~

she'd teach her children that these things were nothing;
clothes, toys, furniture.
these things fool people into thinking 
they must stay where the things are.
leave it all, she'd teach them.
even all your dreams of safe, calm places.
go with what is most terrifying.
always choose love over safety, if you can tell the difference.
