Turning our head away from reality,
Resisting that which is clearly in front of us,
So often we do this in our life time.
Life guides us in the right direction,
But when we go against this & insist…
We block our future…
Distort reality,
Loose life’s messages,
She knows we just need to allow her in,
Instead of allowing wants, desires, fears, insecurities… to cloud our way,
It is that simple.
We do not need to make things work,
If we are on the right path,
Everything will flow perfectly,
Easily,
Do not get caught up in drama,
Follow your design,
Your authority,
Follow life.

Gender

The soul has no gender.
-Clarissa Pinkola Estes

How often do people blame things on the mare difference in gender?
So often we hear “men are like that,”
“Women are this,”
“All men are the same,”
“All women are the same,”
We blame behaviors and generalize,
A grand mistake of humanity.
We rush to give up by saying this is how they are,
Creating a self belief that there will never be union,
Two separate beings that do not coexist,
Attacking one’s being,
All qualities can be found in all living things…
Vanity… insensitivity… consumption… materialism… joy.. ..sexism…violence…love…
It’s purely a human thing.
Just like creating generalizations about religion, race, ethnicity…
You will find everything in all.
From small children we are brainwashed,
Men and women are opposites,
A task to get along,
Each gender holding certain qualities,
Taught to be in competition on who is better,
A clear distinction between what men can do and what women,
A woman’s role and purpose is clear,
So is the man’s!
Interests are different,
Otherwise something’s got to be wrong!
A boy cannot play with dolls,
Nor a girl with guns,
A pressure to fit into certain roles,
Blocking individual’s freedom of expression,
Of being,
Let go of silly prejudgments,
Allow each individual to be,
Without demeaning who they are,
There are no two alike in this world,
Everyone special,
Unique,
Different stories…history…experiences to tell,
Open your mind,
Taking one person at a time,
Meeting an individual with a clear head,
No preconceptions,
Misconceptions,
Just be silent and open.

My name is Gaia (Γαία) and I was born on the beautiful lush island of Kos, along the Aegean sea of Greece, where Hippocrates, the "father of medicine" was born. I am a writer (favorite being children's stories and fairy tales), artist, dancer, modern day Greek Mythologist, nature dweller, photographer, traveler, dreamer, and creator. I love creativity...I love all nature, especially trees.

One of my greatest joys is connecting people with nature in which I have spent most of my life in solitude contemplating and enjoying its wisdom, and empowering people to be their authentic selves, reconnecting them to their true essence and calling in life.

At the moment I am following my passion writing my fairy tale books.

"Lighthouses don't go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining."
