Chad - Thank you for your comments. I am appreciative of your thoughtful response, and your generous compliment.

More thoughts on literacy - First of all I love to read - and I'm fairly left brained. AND, I'm working hard to continuously exercise the creativity, the big-picture thinking, and the compassionate non-linear thinking (intuition, if you will) of the right-brain.  Literacy is not a bad thing - It is one of the most profound developments of society in thousands of years. It just brings with it a shadow side, as all good things do.

Literacy, in my mind, becomes a weapon when words are taken too literally, used out of context, and in search of power. It becomes destructive when it is used in place of feelings and compassion.  I will follow with another article on literacy and gender roles - on my blog in a few weeks. Watch for it! I would love to continue the conversation.

Blessings,

Georgia
