"Woman is the light of God."
Rumi
Throughout history, women have been a conduit for messages, errands, and missions for the Divine. They have not always been able to be recognized, receive awards, nor complimented, but this seems to be the beauty of being able to work unnoticed and anonymous.
Virginia Woolf's quote reflects the suspicion that women hid their identities in order to accomplish work: "I would venture to guess that ANON, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman." Women have stayed in the back ground offering gifts and talents without seeking recognition.
We have a spark, an inner light meant to beam compassion onto others as a simple act of kindness without reward. Illuminating discreetly, women can help others find their way. Women who have assisted throughout time can be seen in the bright and shinning stars lighting up the sky.
