"I am facinated by mythology - where the stories of our past still can be applied today. "Pandora' came from musing on the 'ills of the world' and anyone who reads a newspaper or watches TV news is well aware of that. I don't do either by the way, I am quite cogizant of there being bad things going on but I like to surround myself with positive thoughts and I am fairly certain good things happenjust as much and if we focused out attention on them, we'd be better off altogether. "Pollyanna' attitude, you say? Dwell in light or dwell in dark. I lived long enough on the dark side in my life when I was a drug addicted alcoholic.

Being as I'm a woman who experienced the Feminist Movement firsthand. I'm still appalled by the way women are treated and the truth that the young women and girls I see around me seem to be falling into the stereo-typical roles pandering to the lusts of men. Oh it's nice to feel sexy and desired but what a 'Pandora's Box' we open going down that path. We are caught up in the world of only being worthy if you're young/beautiful/thin...what a vicious cycle that creates."  - Marla Thirsk -
