We identify with Mother Earth—we know that everything has its end, which then feeds a new cycle of growth. This understanding is in direct contradiction to the market economy—to the right and up, where there’s always room for more wealth, more growth. In response to this masculine idea of an exponentiality, perhaps it’s incumbent on the feminine in each of us to hold the line, to retract, to turn our backs on the rabidity of incessant accrual.
