To Have Realized Your Dream Makes You

Journalism Combines Adventure With Culture.

In The Legends That Males Have Invented To Explain Life, The First Human Creature Is A Man Named Adam. Eve Arrives Later, To Give Him Pleasure And Cause Trouble. In The Paintings That Adorn Churches, God Is An Old Man With A Beard, Never An Old Woman With White Hair. And All The Heroes Are Males: From Prometheus Who Discovered Fire To Icarus Who Tried To Fly, On Down To Jesus Whom They Call The Son Of God And Of The Holy Spirit, Almost As Though The Woman Giving Birth To Him Were An Incubator Or A Wetnurse.

To Have Realized Your Dream Makes You Feel Lost.
