The innate power of women is what men fear and punish. We are there at birth, the mother bringing new life into the world, and the midwife attending. We are there throughout life, and we are there at the time of death and transition, the nurse at the sick bed. Women give life and remind men of their own mortality. Death is beautiful and not to be feared. Death to me is a woman, one waiting quietly in the shadows with a candle to light the way . #inthestudio #artistatwork #inprogress #drawing #drafting #mandala #thangkadrawing #thanga #thangkaartist #contemporarybuddhistpainting #contemporarythangka #contemporarybuddhistart #buddhistart #instablog #death #reaper #thereaper #angelofdeath
