I am currently in Budapest, after a week in Moldova, and our team leaves tomorrow for home. I am heading to Salzburg for a few extra days.
But in our circle of conversations over these weeks, we have been very grateful for the wisdom of women who write and share much through books. Soul Sisters by Edwina Gately is rich and full of amazing pictures of who women are. The following quotes from Friendship of Women by Joan Chittister are my nuggets in this morning.
"A true friend" Emerson wrote, "is somebody who can make us do what we can."
pg 29
"When a woman tells the truth," Adrienne Rich writes, "she creates the possibility for more truth around her."
pg 37 Friendship of Women
Great nuggets of what sacred space is created for.
