It takes a lot to open up and love. I think women find their divinity through their disappointment in the men in their lives. Men find their divinity only if a woman sees it in them.

I think men are lost right now. They don't know what their role is. Women have had power through the ages, and men are afraid of it. Women have gone through a tremendous amount of pain to give their gifts to the world. Religion has become a small fence around a great and glorious idea.

It takes a lot to open up and love.

People are often very nervous about getting in touch with what's inside. But there's no security in the outer world. You have to go within to find real hope and faith. Everyone has intuition. Why would we want to hide it?

We need to encourage young women to find what they love to do. That is a very valuable pursuit - more so than the pursuit of a boyfriend. When you have that core, you bring that core to every aspect of your life.

The women I know who have children and have careers, they seem to be very happy. They love their children and they love their jobs. But happiness comes out of being willing to do your work in your twenties to find out who you are, what you love.
