The bravest thing a man can do is to sense, and act, on the "so-called" feminine qualities he experiences within himself.
The most productive thing a woman can do is to experience, and act on, the masculine within her.
Men and women are different. It is empowering and proper to celebrate those differences. It is equally important to recognize that creation happens through the interaction of differences between us -- and also within us.
A truth is always true on all levels. That's how you know that something is true. So if you accept that creation results from the interaction of differences between men and women, then you must accept that creation is catalyzed also by differences within ourselves as individuals.
True creative living is sparked by an easy and powerful interplay between the masculine and feminine within each of us, and then extended outward as dominantly masculine or feminine individuals, where we create through the interplay of those outwardly expressed differences.
We should never forget that despite the desire to be a man, or to be a woman, we are also an integral part of each other in these ways.
