Mother and Child
Pablo Picasso 1922

"From woman, man is born;

within woman, man is conceived;

to woman he is engaged and married.

Woman becomes his friend;

through woman, the future generations come.

When his woman dies,

he seeks another woman;

to woman he is bound.

So why call her bad?

From her, kings are born.

From woman, woman is born;

without woman, there would be no one at all.

O Nanak, only the True Lord is without a woman"

......Guru Nanak......

kiss your mother

It's International Woman's Day,

go kiss your mother, your wife,

your sister, your daughter,

for they are the givers of life.

Manimals

Man has killed his brothers...

since the beginning of time...

man profits from war...

man has fished out the oceans...

all the big fish in the oceans are gone...

man ate them...

man is polluting the air...

man is dimming the sun...

man cuts down all the trees...

man poisons his rivers...

man uses the ocean as his toilet...

man shits where he eats...

man sprays poisons on his food...

man lies, cheats and steals...

man rapes, maims and traumatizes...

man is greedy and selfish...

man is weak and flawed and ignorant...

man enslaves himself into economic bondage...

man enriches himself on the backs of others...

man should let the women run the world...

man would benefit from her mother nature...

man is a beast.

Roe v. Wade

Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), was a landmark although controversial decision by the United States Supreme Court on the issue of abortion. The Court decided that a right to privacy under the due process clause in the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution extends to a woman's decision to have an abortion, but that right must be balanced against the state's two legitimate interests for regulating abortions: protecting prenatal life and protecting the mother's health. Saying that these state interests become stronger over the course of a pregnancy, the Court resolved this balancing test by tying state regulation of abortion to the mother's current trimester of pregnancy.

The Court later rejected Roe's trimester framework, while affirming Roe's central holding that a person has a right to abortion up until viability. The Roe decision defined "viable" as being "potentially able to live outside the mother's womb, albeit with artificial aid," adding that viability "is usually placed at about seven months (28 weeks) but may occur earlier, even at 24 weeks."

In disallowing many state and federal restrictions on abortion in the United States, Roe v. Wade prompted a national debate that continues today, about issues including whether and to what extent abortion should be legal, who should decide the legality of abortion, what methods the Supreme Court should use in constitutional adjudication, and what the role should be of religious and moral views in the political sphere. Roe v. Wade reshaped national politics, dividing much of the nation into pro-choice and pro-life camps, while activating grassroots movements on both sides.

The Art Of Healing

The Wonderful Adventures of Mrs Seacole

Mother Seacole was a healer at the time of the Crimean war, she has little in the way of modern medicine, what she had were:

An understanding and insistence upon Hygiene and cleanliness.

A desire to give comfort, warmth and feelings of home

Empathy and an open loving heart

Energies for all, equally, freely given

A basic understanding of herbs and natural medicines

Mama's little baby

Put on the skillet,
Slip on the lid,
Mama's gonna make
A little short'nin' bread.
That ain't all
She's gonna do,
Mama's gonna make
A little coffee, too.

Mama's little baby loves
Short'nin', short'nin',
Mama's little baby loves
Short'nin' bread,
Mama's little baby loves
Short'nin', short'nin',
Mama's little baby loves
Short'nin' bread.

Three little children,
Lyin' in bed
Two were sick
And the other 'most dead
Sent for the doctor
And the doctor said,
"Give those children some
Short'nin' bread."

Mama's little baby loves
Short'nin', short'nin',
Mama's little baby loves
Short'nin' bread,

Short'nin', short'nin',
Mama's little baby loves
Short'nin' bread,
Mama's little baby loves
Short'nin', short'nin',
Mama's little baby loves

When those children,
Sick in bed,
Heard that talk
About short'nin' bread,
Popped up well
To dance and sing,
Skipped around and cut
The pigeon wing.

Mama's little baby loves
Short'nin', short'nin',
Mama's little baby loves
Short'nin' bread,
Mama's little baby loves
Short'nin', short'nin',
Mama's little baby loves

Slip to the kitchen,
Slip up the led,
Filled my pockets full of
Short'nin' bread;
Stole the skillet,
Stole the led,
Stole the gal makin'
Short'nin' bread.

Mama's little baby loves
Short'nin', short'nin',
Mama's little baby loves
Short'nin' bread,

Short'nin', short'nin',
Mama's little baby loves

Caught me with the skillet,
Caught me with the led,
Caught me with the gal makin'
Short'nin' bread;
Paid six dollars for the skillet,
Six dollars for the led,
Spent six months in jail eatin'
Short'nin' bread.

Mama's little baby loves
Short'nin', short'nin',
Mama's little baby loves
Short'nin' bread,
Mama's little baby loves
Short'nin', short'nin',
Mama's little baby loves
Short'nin' bread.
