I fear the possible impermanence of web stuff; no doubt totally illogical:) I've just read the poem by Penelope Shuttle & you mentioned The Wise Wound; a book given to me at a tender age by my fantastic aunty Jean. The book turned my thinking about the processes we women go through completely around; transforming the "curse" into a celebratory, almost mystical experience! Well, sometimes! Of course other female friends thought I was barking! I still have it around somewhere.
