Pan, not just bread


My first post will be someone else's words: "To diminish the worth of women, men had to diminish the worth of the moon. They had to drive a wedge between human beings and trees and the beasts and the waters, because trees and beasts and waters are as loyal to the moon as to the sun. They had to drive a wedge between thought and feeling, between the lamplight by which they count the day's earnings and the dark to which or Pan is ever connected." Tom Robbins Jitterbug Perfume.
I promise all my posts will not be so. . . so . . whatever but I was thinking of this and thought I'd share my love of this feminist man. (Tom Robbins and Pan)
