Standing in line at Peets this morning, absent minded-ly listening to the conversations around me. The older women in front of me talking about their relationships with their husbands. Some of it funny, some of it grumbly towards their men.
After my tea, I am on campus in search of art supplies at the UCD bookstore. As I pass different groups of young women, bits of conversation twirl up around me like autumn leaves, " ...he just doesn't understand...", "...I don't know how many friends I have who say that about breaking-up...", ..."he is amazing...", "... he said...".
I walked with a smile on my face. Young and old, we women sure like to talk of our relationships. Not to say men don't. I just don't think they like it like we do. Felt a solidarity to all women today. It felt sweet and powerful. We are such interesting and complex creatures. I love being a creature!
