Oh when, when, will all of earth's people join arms in song rather than picking up arms to destroy one another? When? What will it take for that to happen?

But doesn't matriarchy too have its shadow side?

Likely, yet the patriarchy has created our present chaotic world (?)….somehow I feel matriarchal energy holds more nurture… more love/less war, etc., & would have done a much better job.

My greatest hope is for an egalitarian society that doesn't define power along gender lines. But there's no guarantee that would be any better either! Point is, I guess, we have to start where we are, and right now patriarchal values and dynamics have brought the world to its knees . . .
