Freedom to Be
Today the blogosphere is waking up to a call from one of its own, a woman. She has received death threats on her blog for speaking her truth.
For whatever deep, deep, deep reason, women speaking their truth sometimes evokes tremendous fear in others. Unable to own, to hold, to reach out about that fear, the powerless react with anger and hostility. Petty tyrants threaten.
Raise a hand for empowerment and courage and a steadfast practice. One-pointed focus.
May we embrace our light, in all its beautifully subtle and raging ferocity of truth. May we find our voices, extend ourselves to others, and join hands together to strengthen our resolve.
And may we pray for the lost souls, that they accept the invitation to examine their inner and outer worlds and return victorious, love at the helm.
Please join us in standing up to support those who have been threatened.

I will be proud to stand with you, Prema. Navigating the treacherous waters of hidden secrets is difficult enough without threats from others who are full of fear. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
love at the helm.
me too, so proud to stand with you raising our hands and our voices!
I'm right there with you guys, The craziest thing about the particular situation that sparked this boycott/need to speak out, is that the woman writes about tech information--software applications and such.
Yesterday I read a great deal by and about her and what has happened. It appears she's being target for merely being a beautiful woman and enthusiastic speaker in the largely male IT world. Her blog could not be called controversial; she does not bare her soul or tell painful truths others would not want aired.
She writes about software applications, people. And she's being threatened with death and dismemberment for it.
This can not be tolerated.
Lovely words for this situation, Prema, thank you for the good you spread, as opposed to the bad you stop.
