"If women remember that once upon a time we sang with the tongues of seals and flew with the wings of swans, that we forged our own paths through the dark forest while creating a community of its many inhabitants, then we will rise up rooted, like trees. And if we rise up rooted like trees, well then, women might indeed save not only ourselves, but the world."- Sharon Blackie, If Women Rose Rooted.
