Mother Fast 6: Moving forward

6. Collective willingness to find ways to move beyond patriarchy into more feminist and egalitarian paradigms in order to restore balance and honor the gifts of both sexes, mortal and Divine.

I don't know, I think that is pretty self-explanatory.   We all just need to move on, evolve, be better, be wiser, be kinder, be more balanced and inclusive and Christ-like.

It's a little strange to think that it has (only) been six months (already).  It seems like this Fast has been going on much longer, and yet it feels like it just began.  I've changed a lot in six months' time.  I've changed a lot in twelve months' time.  I'm a different person than I was a year ago, moreso than most years.

This blog has changed a lot in that time, too.  It started just as a place to jot down the spiritual stuff that didn't belong on my business blog.  Now I'm a practicing Pagan Mormon Feminist who publicly asks risky questions of General Authorities and fasts every month for the unveiling of Heavenly Mother.   Dang, 2011 has been a heck of a year.  I blame the Solstice Eclipse last winter.

Speaking of Solstice, this month's fast coincides with the local Pagan community's gathering.  This will be my first time being able to attend one since I first heard of them from a friend, and I'm dragging Dryad (who has an awesome new post up, which you should go read) along with me.  My hope is that it will be all Goddess-y and dance-y and inspiring and such.

Enjoy your fasting, friends and siblings!  May we each commit ourselves in the coming year to be more truly Christ-like to those around us.
