In the Company of Women

Written on the last day of a silent retreat knowing full well that many of these women were not anxious to return to the real world...

In The Company of Women

 

gentle souls, lost souls -searching
transfixed for a moment in time
suspended in an atmosphere of
comradery and love

too soon to be thrown back into the arena
to play the games of love and hate
to nuture without compensation
to give meaning to empty lives

remove the outer garments of society;
class, education, status
there remains only one basic instinct
- to love

THIS binds us together...

We live in a very complex society. But for normal, ordinary people,
I endorse your conclusion. And love, indeed, binds us together.

Simple and profound.

This sounds like an interesting day of people getting to know people, and you're right--"there remains only one basic instinct
- to love. THIS binds us together..."
