“As things fall apart, women rise up. The crones, the elders, the kuia, the aunties, we Mother Bear Crones are the way-showers. To don the mantle of leadership we have to shed the sugary definitions of motherhood parlayed especially on so-called Mother’s Day, and identify the true meaning of our names. We are a world culture unto ourselves, and we are called to mentor one another and show up. Really show up. Meaning: Be seen. Be heard. So, get out your editing tools, sisters. We have to speak clearly. This is the courage I am speaking of; the courage to be straightforward, to tell it like it is, to be outspoken, to use our chosen words as we interpret them, to name our audiences. And go direct to them.
We initiate a new language. It is the Mother Bear Crone dialect in which language come from the heart, with no sidelines, no fads, no politically correct come-ons with freebie offers and promises of something we never wanted or needed. No seductions. Just the gorgeous naming and claiming that make women and children jump up and wave their hands in the air, asking for more and more and more.”
