Comment on text from the link below shared by Fr.Ivo. How awesome is this: "mirroring the classical balance between the transcendent Male and the manifesting Female"? The central idea is one of submitting to the other, holding the other--not withholding from the other. A stupendous concept--a way of being and communing. One can and must strive towards it, although in my opinion, most of us fail at attaining such balance--essentially not a civic balance but one of entire Being--an engulfment of minds, persona and spirit. ++++++++++++ venantius j pinto
