Poetry in Her Eyes

Description

In the determined expression of a young girl, deeply focused and lost in thought, I see the universe. Our future rests in the eyes, dreams, hearts, and hands of individuals like her.

I ponder how her perspective might be skewed by the narratives we, as storytellers, are collectively imparting. What will she need to unravel and reshape as she embraces her feminine power, and when the blinders fall away to reveal what she has inherited?

That look of determination is crucial to nurture in the girls who will grow into women tasked with inheriting a world and society in disarray. The phrase “for the meek shall inherit the earth” contrasts with the idea of the powerful and aggressive wielding control through wealth and influence. It suggests that true strength resides in humility and kindness, in a world inherently understood and envisioned by a child.
