Often I have been amazed, how a woman seemingly can in simple ways open wide her body, mind and soul, when she’s in love, to share her inner being without ever agreeing to survival as an option worthy of a second thought; I really ought to know better, by now, than to doubt this gift of steel, this elemental strength, I try hard to accept but really never feel. Silly scientists today state 200,000 years drifted away, in their most current guess since this species first became aware; they look at bones, with furrowed brows in academic contemplation, and ponder theories on the evolutionary fate of “Man,” while we struggle further on this little span of time, without the sense to wonder, not how we did it, but why we can. ©2005 by icebox |

love is what makes the world go round~ hate controls to keep love lost and never found~ women are love life forever bound~ your a wise man past should stay past teaching and learning should be of love and understanding respect and communication living as equals and sharing no control no taking god owns this land we should be caring for it not destroying it or life it doesnt really matter how we got here what matters is how we will stay here as family with love and respect and understanding survival is strong in women as love is thankyou |

...not how we did it, but why we can. ~*~ If there is one thing that woman ever gave birth to anytime, anywhere, it is hope. |

WHOOPS! I let this get by me and I will boost it again Jan 2008. Must be read and reread and understood for the love it shows, by both men and woman of substance. "late" |
