If hold all the different communities across the planet, large and small, you will immediately notice that they do not shine. Little light emanates from them because they do not nourish. The fastest way for a community to share its light is to be of service to children and women. Communities shine when the voices of women and children come forward.
When you bring children’s voices forward everything softens, for this too is a key to the advancement of humankind. When women’s voices come forward new forms appear that support – collaboration, healing, nourishment and flourishing. Today, as named leaders, women offer a different invitation to community that is sorely needed.
Men too are important, however they have their chance for millennia now and have chose to use their voices in others ways – as they lead communities, villages, cities, religions, governments, countries, businesses.
Men do not resist, be graceful – recognize that other qualities are needed in your communities. If you want a better life for your children, and their children, and their children – seven generations. Women are ready to lead in this manner. This is the millennia of women’s voices. Try these ideas roll them over in your mind.
Now everyone has work to do, men in particular. You need a new system of work and family. This is central to activating the key of community. The current forms of leadership of your communities, challenge women. They are faced with the choice – behave as men to be successful or neglect their children. These are not healthy or pleasant choices. Erase the lines that define how leaders must lead.
Open the gates, tear down the fences, build playgrounds for the children. Invite women to walk forward as leaders with babes in arms, holding hands with children – their own children and others children. Support them to transform the inner sanctums of power and authority. As these changes unfold, men surround yourself with women advisors, who share your goals and yet offer entirely different invitations to community membership. Be touched by their counsel.
The planet needs natural forms of collaboration across communities. Women will be the bridges and the children will walk across the bridges to meet the children of other communities, for they are all brothers and sisters.
Today everything is fragmented. Men are separated from their children. In many places in the world women are barred from using their voices, in many other communities their voices are not invited. Children are places in schools, where no one hears their voices or beautiful songs.Grandmothers are no longer sought for their wisdom and leadership. These are just a few examples.
So what can you do?
- Wake up – seriously consider these new ideas. Notice the imbalance and absence of women’s voices
- Actively invite women’s voices forward
- Women develop your voice. Discover what you want to say, seek no permission. Keep a journal and most important sit in women’s circles, with other women and try out your voice.
The creation of healthy communities that offer spaces for everyone to be nourished and to flourish is the third key to the Advancement of Humankind.
