for the women that I love

This world is a total mess. We made it that way. We were desperate for the change. We knew we just couldn´t go on the way we were.
So we went for women´s liberation movement.
Hurray, hurray! I will not stay and wash diapers!
We thought that was the key to success:
collegue and work.
we left the house, we got a job, how clever, how smart!
Now we get to the office and come back...to wash the diapers, clean up the house...how smart.
women´s lib??? what a fib!!!!

Most of my friends...I think I could say all...have deep complaints, the emptiness still remains.
The emptiness of men by their side. Oh, they may be married, but still- that man...is not really a man.
Men of the world...please, please wake up!

I know it will come, I know it will be, but meanwhile..."Bea, what is to become of me?"
My dear women friends, I don´t have all the answers, but I have started with this:
I take the sabbath day - literally.
I rest.
It is biblical you know. In fact it amazes me how much emphasis the Lord places on this.
I have taken so many things off my agenda, off my list...now I am resting, regaining strength. Had given so much...I need a lot of rest.
And you know what is amazing? I now begin to see that there is a path for me!
Where did I find that path? In rest, in sleeping, in staying in bed late, in painting, and embroidering, in listening to soft music...in bed, in rest.
My friend, I cannot find your path for you...you have to rest.
One more detail: I have discovered that the world
continues its course...without me
I can rest.
