Women

I wrote about this group of women from Colorado a few posts back and today got the photo.

A couple of weeks later now, I was on my way back to my car after an appointment when the lyrics of an old song, "I Am Woman" came to me. It was one of those weird moments. I hadn't thought of the song in ages and it lengthened my step. I didn't walk to my car, I strode. It made me feel happy that it sprang up in my memory.

So I thought I'd put the two together:

(Helen Reddy and Ray Burton)

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'Cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again

Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

(partial lyrics, with thanks to Helen and Ray)
