“When it comes to politics, we have an internal glass ceiling. We stand as good a chance as a man to win a political race, but women don't want to run at the same rate as men do. People point to the work-family balance issue, but I think it's much more than that. Many women don't have children, or have children who are no longer at home. There are some deeper psychological and emotional issues in play, like the fact that many of us feel like the embarrassment, humiliation and personal demonization in politics are simply more than our hearts can take. What stops us is fear.” PeopleThinkingMenWantFeelsHeartChildrenPlayFactsHomeRunningPoliticalWinningChanceRaceIssuesEmotionalBalanceRateGlassesDeeperPsychologicalInternalsHumiliationEmbarrassmentCeilingsGlass CeilingWork Family Author:Marianne Williamson

“It's the ground that we walk on, it's where we sit, it's the language that we use. It's a difficult undertaking, but I think without healing that and creating more of a balance between the sexes, we will never have balance globally. I feel like I am going deeper and deeper into this space where I came from that I barely understood.” ThinkingFeelsUseLanguageSexDifficultSpaceWalksHealingBalanceCreatingUnderstoodDeeperUndertakings Author:Ani DiFranco
“Archery, fencing, spear fighting, all of the martial arts, tea ceremony, flower arranging...in all of these, correct breathing, correct balance, and correct stillness help to remake the individual. The basic aim is always the same: by tirelessly practicing a given skill, the student finally sheds the ego with its fears, worldly ambitions, and reliance on objective scrutiny - sheds it so completely that he becomes the instrument of a deeper power, from which mastery falls instinctively, without further effort on his part, like a ripe fruit.” ArtHelpingFallFightingIndividualGivenEffortStudentsFlowerBalanceSkillsEgoAmbitionAimInstrumentsFruitDeeperObjectivesTeaBreathingMartial ArtsStillnessMasteryShedWorldlyCeremonyRelianceRipeScrutinyRemakesSpearsArrangingArcheryFencingRipe FruitTea Ceremony Author:Karlfried Graf Durckheim
“Love is our most unifying and empowering common spiritual denominator. The more we ignore its potential to bring greater balance and deeper meaning to human existence, the more likely we are to continue to define history as one long inglorious record of man’s inhumanity to man.” MenLoveHumansLongSpiritualHumanityLove IsCommonExistenceRecordsGreaterBalanceDeeperEmpoweringHumanity And SocietyHuman ExistenceInhumanityUnifyingDeeper MeaningAgape LoveInhumanity To Man Book:Journey through the Power of the Rainbow: Quotations from a Life Made Out of Poetry Source: Journey through the Power of the Rainbow: Quotations from a Life Made Out of Poetry
