Sophie Strand's Poetic Tapestry: A Reflection on 'The Madonna Secret

We are fans, no doubt.

In Sophie Strand's "The Madonna Secret," she delicately weaves together the intricate threads of womanhood, life, and the cosmic energy that envelops us. Sophie's poetic prowess transcends the ordinary, creating a tapestry of words that resonates with the very essence of existence.

As a busy and strong woman navigating life's demanding currents, I find solace in Sophie's ability to articulate the profound connections between femininity and the pulsating energy surrounding us. Her words are an invitation to explore the depths of our own existence and embrace the powerful force that binds us all.

Yet, amidst the beauty of Sophie's prose, there's a subtle weariness that echoes in the hearts of busy women like myself. The richness of her writing, while captivating, can also be an emotional investment, a journey that demands our time and reflection.

In the hustle of a strong woman's daily life, Sophie's intricate tapestry becomes both a sanctuary and a challenge. While I admire the depth of her insights, there's a paradoxical fatigue that settles in—a reminder of the delicate balance we must strike between self-discovery and the demands of a bustling life.

Sophie Strand's "The Madonna Secret" is undoubtedly a literary gem, an exploration of womanhood that transcends the ordinary. As I immerse myself in her poetic world, I'm reminded that, like the Madonna herself, strength and vulnerability coexist. In appreciating Sophie's brilliance, let us also acknowledge the dance between the profound and the practical, finding beauty in both.

Small Part

 The following is a small part of a story of my life that I'm writing for my children. Since the name of our group is Reading Writing and Arithmetic Club, Lance and I have discussed that it's appropriate to put writings here, so here's some writing. Just for fun.  It's a period of a couple of years during the 60' s.      Even though that first year in Berkeley wasn't easy for me, it was endlessly fascinating. That was Berkeley in the 60s. When I arrived on the scene, organized student protests were already underway, and about to intensify. The Free Speech Movement had begun in October of 1964 with a massive student sit-in at the administration building, Sproul Hall. The students took over the building and refused to leave. A lengthy standoff ended with the students being hauled out of the building and arrested in a huge police action. Afterwards there was a continuing police presence on campus.      This was the norm when I arrived. There were pro...

Dear Diary

 I'm reading Brian Eno's diary, which is just a day by day journal of one year in his life. In it somewhere he lists his idea of some of the things he is, in the form of I am... and then each of the things he considers himself to be are either a or an.  So "I am creative" wouldn't work, but "I am a music producer" would.  I quickly closed the book before I read his list and began writing my own, which I may or may not share here.  But I wanted you guys to think about creating your own list and think about sharing it here.  Maybe I'm an optimist to think you might be interested in doing so, but really it might be fun. There might even be some overlap! And don't worry, it seems only two other people would be reading your list.
