LA FEMME: Some reflections on femininity IMAGE: A radiant orb with expanding images of a headless female torso. Cantara: (gazing at the image) Is this an ideal woman – a person with no head? Chris: (cringing) Well, it looks that way. Isn't that what most stupid men desire? Miok: Balanced people enjoy all aspects of existence: intellect, emotions, physical. Why seperate the spheres? Chris: (tapping his wine glass while frowning) Uh huh. And who does this so-called "balancing"? Miok : (flippantly) I dunno. Perhaps the commercial interests that brainwash us all? Tim: Our heads get us into all sorts of trouble. In the deepest sense of the word, perhaps it is better to be "headless." ===================================================================================== from Heart Scenes: Emotional Landscapes via Art, Poetry, & Prose by T Newfields Summary: A few mutant thoughts about womanhood, brainwashing, and over-thinking.
