Dear women of the world–

There ‘s a smell in the air.  It comes from a third, powerful wave of the women’s slash feminist movement.  As a proud agent of the second wave i m excited about this.  I predict this wave will be tsunamic in its magnitude.  It will be planetary, it will be ecosexual, and will focus on the divine feminine.

As this tsunamic new wave announces itself, on this 8th March i want to give a shout out to a second-wave French feminist whose voice resonates w/ me today.

She was prophetic.

Back in 1974, Francoise d’Eaubonne coined the word ecofeminism. The title of her book, Le Feminisme ou la Mort, has two meanings.

One is a cri-de-coeur, a battle cry, as in “give me feminism or give me death.”

The other is just a realistic description, one that very few people would hear at the time. Either we create a world that honors women, that worships the divine feminine in all its manifestations, or we are doomed.

Why?

Because we will blindly continue in our pillage of the partner we all share: the Earth.

Because there is sacredness to all forms of life.

Because it’s only when we make love the ecology of our lives that we are safe.

I found great inspiration in Francoise d’Eaubonne for all my works and collaborations, including Gaia, Ecosexuality, and Playa Azul I Love You.  Check them out.

Share and enjoy the excitement of women’s day!
