As women we inflict violence on other women; the violence of thought.
Do we really believe our thoughts are harmless; that they have no power to inflict great damage? Do we fail to fully understand that we actively nourish or starve each other with the energy of our thoughts? Have we forgotten we are all connected? Do our synapses fail to fire with the clarity that even if we hold our tongues, we actively participate in the enslavement of each other as long as the undermining thoughts remain?
We sit smugly, silently thinking because we suppress our words, we have exhibited some gracious act; that we are innocents. In fact, we have actually committed a worse offense than giving voice to our thoughts.
The violence of thought is worse than the expression of words because it politely veils our cerebrations; the truth of our own thinking.
While desiring to appear pious and self-restrained, WE STILL HAVE thoughts of judgment, criticism, correction, blame, faultfinding, condemnation, persecution, accusation, disapproval, objection, opposition and harsh opinion.
How scheming, and how preposterous to assume we have fooled anyone but ourselves.
If we are not to speak, let us neither taint the ether—and each other—with our silently poisonous thoughts.
May we instead become consumed with the truth that the cost of toxic thoughts is too high to entertain them for even a moment.
May we consciously replace them with the power of thought-vitality that nourishes, builds, supports, comforts, cherishes, honors, nurtures, encourages, cultivates, mentors, attends, sustains, educates, shelters, reveres and values.
For it is a woman who truly understands the power of her thoughts who changes the world moment-by-moment by wisely managing every one.

Dear Charlon,
I hope this comment to be a counterpoint to the article it's attached to, an expression of the opposite: the honoring power of positive thought.
I appreciate you, and your work, so much. Although we have only just crossed paths, I sense a deeper connection.
I want you to know that your writing is inspiring on the intuitive, etheric level. I need you to know that your writing is a gift to the ether, a beam of spiritual awareness to shine on a world with a tendency toward brokenness and darkness, violence and trepidation. You bring peace and light as a balm to weary souls.
I look forward to ongoing dialogue and thought collaboration with you. :)
YOU ARE A BLESSING.
All the best,
Amy
Hello, Amy~
Thank you for pointing out the 'expression of the opposite.' That is a powerful and beautiful point. When we focus on what isn't working, that's all we see. When we focus on what we'd rather see, we see the limitless possibilities.
Thank you for your kind words and support. Bless you.
