Thinking Through Our Bellies

As a Zulu leader exhorted his listeners to look with eyes that see the relatedness of all life, he made an amazing observation about how Zulu people believe women think :

"It is said by our Zulu people that women think with their pelvic area where children grow. We must think that way. We must no longer look at a tree, but I must see a living entity like me in that thing. I must no longer look at a stone, but I must see the future lying dormant in that stone…. We must think like grandmothers.” ~~Credo Mutwa, Zulu leader

Do you agree that women think viscerally? Do you think this quote describes "women's intuition?"


(Ellie, this is for you and all the women I met at Release.)
