Woman: Waterbearer

Fascinating, this multicultural shift from monotheistic "feminist" to compassionate "womanist". Not an either-or, competitive shift, typically left-brain dominant; But a more complementary cooperative reciprocal dipolar contrast between ecological feminists and theologically polypathic womanists, reconnecting secular-sacred iconography for MotherEarth's healthiest resilience. Ecofeminists struggling against egopatriarchal grand-staged history of violence war capital-driven colonization, rabid predation, viral rabidity. But, a womanist herstoric view more quietly domestically intimately vulnerably transparently sacredly mysteriously curiously courageously challenges left-brain straight white male humanists to think and feel and act with less anthropocentric assumptions about underlying cooperative health systems and nutrition networks and safety values, To include, or at least consider more divinely transcendently and yet intimately, To invite, extend warm hospitality to all organic creatures, all ecosystemic energy systems thirsting for reciprocal democratic healing health safety compassion resonant resilience polyphonic polypaths restoring health within retributive win/lose capitalistic degenerative systems. To stretch our cooperative imaginations, to reinterpret herstory of a domestic and internationally transcendent MotherEarth nature healing through restoring peace and spiritual justice what left-brain dominant humanists have disassociated with retributive anthro-hubris, man v nature and angry woman v left/righteous harmonic spirit. Fascinating, this multi-paradigmatic shift from monotheistic "sacred feminist" to compassionate health-resilient water-bearer womb well-being "womanist".
