A Masculinized Conception....

Thanks to the wild and wonderful Candace Pert -- who was the Scarlet Woman of the NIH back when I knew her in 1997 -- after a lunch we had together when an editor at Healthy Living magzine, scribbled in my 'uncorrected proof' of her Molecules of Emotion is what she was up against -- "what is tolerated by our culture is a masculinized conception of knowledge, values, and priorities -- our modus operandi?

A reminder that 20 years ago this was central to my take on the state of the world, and is still, more than ever now, 5 years on from my last post. Now through the lens of Iain McGilchrist's Divided Brain -- under another guise it is more present than ever -- and manifested by, among other things The Million Women march -- and...hallelujah, in so many others around the world in reaction to the extreme example of something close to the worst of masculinity being set by Trump. Alas, whose mother was an immigrant from the Isle of Lewis.

And, thank you Leonard Cohen -- there is a crack in everything, in everything, that's how the light gets in.........

the birds they sang
At the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don't dwell on what
Has passed away
Or what is yet to be
Yeah the wars they will
Be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
Bought and sold
And bought again
To be continued.......?
