Tapa or bark cloth with freehand painting, is traditionally a women's art from Polynesia, though terminology, decorations, dyes, and designs vary throughout the islands #WomensArt

For most of its life Shinshōgokuraku-ji (真正極楽寺), more familiarly known as Shinnyo-dō, has played an important role for the women of Kyōto.
When many temples & sacred places were strictly off-limits to women, Shinnyo-dō offered them a sanctuary within easy reach of the city.

there is good work yet to be done ~ focus on the positive & though not necessarily easy try not to dwell on the negative :)

Shall we go back to the basics
of being human,
you and I.
First: shelter, food, fire.
Next comes touch and smell,
imprint of our human-ness.
We fold our skin over our beloveds,
a cloud of prayer above our heads,
leaning into each other, though far apart.
We are kin, skin to skin,
though far apart.

you and I.
