Secrets within the SACRED & the Profane

Pregnancy is the time of secrets unleashed into the open air. Each culture treats pregnancies with its inherent horrors and honors differently. For women of each society their lives, and what their lives will mean is made clear during the months of pregnancy. Ideally, it is a time for men standing deep in their manhood who are redefining their masculinity for the sanctity, and security of their wife's spirit, and the strength of their growing families. The reality is different for far too many. More than anything else women's fragility is dependent upon the perception and definition of manhood. Men determine the terror of women's plight as mothers, or are the support of their honoring, their safety, and their tranquility.

Poverty has a lot to do with the tranquility of a woman's pregnancy, as well as wealth. But, the physicality of wealth or poverty is subservient to the state of being pregnant and honored, cherished and loved by the father. If women shopped, drove, dreamed, planned, worked, raised families, and got old in matriarchal societies this would be a different conversation, and pregnancies, and masculinity and fears would be wholly different in texture and the context of the sacred would be colored different. But, we don't. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 10.30.13
