true women in the gardens

Here in the gardens, yet another list has been swirling around for a couple of days, and while it may not be complete, it seems like a good start and has the possibility of being less than six pages long--which seems to be the usual post length when printed...

With that in mind, kindly review our list of traits (in no particular order--remember they are still swirling) that define a true woman:

1. True women allow themselves to express their creativity in whatever form they desire.
2. True women are mostly comfortable in their own bodies but recognize and value their individual physical traits.
3. True women acknowledge that sometimes they are uncomfortable in their own minds, and they seek or accept help when they need it.
4. True women are altos. Yes, there is definitely a place for sopranos in the choir, just as every game of Clue needs a Miss Scarlet, but altos create the harmony, tension, and resolution in a song in the same way that true women live their lives.
5. True women find joy in things simple and great, and they relish that joy, and while they do not live every minute dripping in joy, they do recognize it and store it away for those times when there is no joy to be seen.
6. True women love deeply, acknowledging that loving deeply carries with it great risk, but that is the only way they know how to love.

That is the swirling list. Updates to follow.
