Seeing within and behind through all four eyes
Tales from the House of Vasquez by Raquel Vasquez Gilliland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
In “Tales from the House of Vasquez,” Raquel Vasquez Gilliland melds autobiography with myth and fairy tale to create a feminist history of the women of her family and her personal crisis–and an archetype of the human. At times surreal, at times poignantly real, these poems dance with energy and hope in the face of death and the oppression of the male priests of the mundane and spiritless “real” world. In the end, the feminine wins by persisting in seeing with “all four eyes…opened like stars.”

Words matter: The death of sacred speech
The use of humility words, like modesty, fell by 52 percent over the 20th century.
Compassion words, like kindness, dropped by 56 percent.
Gratitude words, like thankfulness, declined by 49 percent.
And courage words, like bravery, plunged by 66 percent.
