Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,    Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today    Tomorrow will be dying.

The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,    The higher he's a-getting, The sooner will his race be run,    And nearer he's to setting.

That age is best which is the first,    When youth and blood are warmer; But being spent, the worse, and worst    Times still succeed the former.

Then be not coy, but use your time,    And while ye may, go marry; For having lost but once your prime,    You may forever tarry.

-Robert Herrick, "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time", 1648

“I still pick flowers with you in my dreams. And you smile. You laugh. You dance with me in the emerald fields. I wonder if you keep my letters under your pillow. I wonder if you still sit by the lake and remember the sunsets we spent in each other’s arms.”

"I am the daughter of a daughter.

Who is the daughter of a daughter.

Who is also the daughter of a daughter.

Some of us are mothers

but all of us are daughters,

all birthed through lines

that weave back to that First Mother.

All connected from the very beginning.

All connected in the now.

Mothers,

Daughters,

Grandmothers,

Great Grandmothers,

Great Great Grandmothers.

All daughters born from

One. Original. Egg.

From One. Original. Woman.

So why the separation?

Why the animosity toward each other?

Why the arguing and fighting,

back-stabbing and lack of support?

The next time you see another woman,

look in her eyes and see the

Ancestral Lines, the lines of Women

that lead back to you.

Where are we going Mother?

And how will we get there Sister?

By staying connected Daughter

and allowing for difference.

For we are each one,

after all,

all Daughters

of Daughters

of Daughters

of our

One Mother."
