Each daughter of Eve has taken on her own journey.
Each finding her own vision of womanhood.
Each blessed and cursed by what she found.
As they grew, they came to realize a hard truth. There was an equal darkness for all the light they held within them.
They learned in order to receive love they must open their hearts, but that opening your heart is the first step to getting it broken.
They learned that they could be warriors and harness immense strength, but with that strength they would be in endless battle with this world.
They learned that if they nurtured a healing hand, they could bring life to many they touched, but they would see as many lost as saved.
They learned that gardening could bring forth great crop, but that did not guarantee someone with which to share the harvest.
Their innocence faded and their heroes began to shatter. Many would have let go of dreams, casting them aside as childish things, but they realized dreams in their heart were their only true salvation.
So, full in their womanhood, they hold tight to their dreams, take the light with the dark, and have become the heroes in their own stories.
