THE MIMOSA
The Mimosa for its look and its scent,is my favourite flower before all other flowers. http://www.fotoeweb.it/sorrentina/Foto/F...
It seems that the Italian feminist choose the Mimosa as flower symbol of the “Women’day” in the 1946 when the U.D.I. (Union Italian Women) prepared the first “8 March” after the War, as symbol of Strength and Femininity.
The Mimosa symbolizes the force exactly: vitality, and then the innocence, freedom, autonomy, sensitivity. Its colour yellow symbolizes: the Sunshine light, the intellect, instict, faith, goodness, the sacral, the divinity, the revealed truth.

A FOND EMBRACE!

LA MIMOSA
La Mimosa è, per il suo aspetto e profumo, il mio fiore preferito in assoluto su tutti gli altri.
http://www.fotoeweb.it/sorrentina/Foto/F...
Sembra che la Mimosa fu scelta come fiore simbolo della “Festa della Donna” dalle femministe italiane nel 1946 quando l’U.D.I. (Unione donne italiane) preparò il primo “8 Marzo” del dopoguerra come simbolo di Forza e Femminilità.
Mimosa simboleggia appunto la forza, la vitalità, poi l’innocenza, libertà, autonomia, sensibilità; il suo colore giallo: la luce del sole, l'intelletto, intuito, fede, bontà, la sacralità, la divinità, la verità rivelata.

UN ABBRACCIO AFFETTUOSO!

Yes the Amazons are a very interesting and amazing topic.
I have just criticize about what we know of them and the temper of their new by-product characters (Cinema, cartoons etc.)this type of women are always “seroius” and “angry” and sometimes they seems a bad and superficial-approximate imitation of harsh-rough men.
Maybe because I love the contrast and the complementary things, and the one-way things can be stock and trite, dull, for me at least.
I would like to see another side of their trait: try to picture a woman with kind and gentle manners that while smiles draws a sword.

Of course Kennc, the contrast (if it is not a fight) makes colour and dynamism.
Everything includes inside its nature its opposite, and I think is interesting and constructive to recognize out of us in the all things that we meet what is similar and opposite of us.

I Agree!

It is very important to understand the contradictions within ourselves and the world around us! It can also give us insights into other points of view that are not our own!

Big work on ourselves

Ciao Kennc

All this presupposes a big honesty toward ourselves before that toward the world around us, also it is necessary a good disposition to the listening, to the softenss-conciliating, and a touch of irony too (that I think never is a bad thing). About this I am not so optimist because too often the relationship beteween the people are “dressed” of a many screens (education, social role, job...etc) that are true armours that puts the people as possible enemy and never as possible friends, so the people becomes “warriors” even when is not necessary.

Now I go to the Tea-Room on the beach to drink chocolate and eat cake ;-)

STRONG EMBRACE and at THE NEXT
