Let No Man Raise His Hand

As a man I have seen far to many women suffer abuse at the hands of men.

From this point on Let No Man Raise His Hand in Anger , Let No Man Raise His Hand in Hate , Let No Man Raise His Hand in Conflict for to do so diminishes the Human Spirit.

Women are our greatest treasure. They bring life into the world. They nurture our spirits and nourish our souls yet far too many of them suffer at the hands of men. What is wrong with us as a society that in the 21st century we still allow this to take place. We must rise up against those that would oppress , we must rise up against those that would abuse. We must rise up against those that value life so little that they would batter ones soul.

Let us embrace Love as a way of life and acknowledge Women as the Divine Blessing they are.

I received a phone call last night from a loved one whose partner was in jail because he had beaten her bloody. What possesses a two hundred pound man to batter a one hundred and fifty pound woman. What possesses a man to ever raise his hand to a woman. This is disturbing , puzzling and unacceptable. As men we must raise our voices for silence is a form of abuse . We can no longer turn our backs on our Mothers , Sisters , Wives and Friends.

Let No Man Raise His Hand!

Let today be a Healing Celebration in which we Honour every Woman on Sacred Mother Earth.

For my friends in the Creative Arts I ask that you use your gifts to create awareness. Use your music , art , poetry , writing ... to help change peoples paradigm that we may once and for all put an end to this epidemic. For my friends in the Spiritual/Healing Arts I ask that you send your Prayers and Healing Energies to every Woman who has ever suffered abuse at the hands of a man.

Let No Man Raise His Hand!

As a society we must seek to create better men for the ones we have produced so far have failed. We live in a world of rape , murder , molestation , crime and war. We must choose better leaders , create better schools and seek an existence that is less selfish and more selfless.

Let No Man Raise His Hand!

The pure loves light of my Wifes smile embraces my soul , the beauty of my sisters enchants my spirit , the radiance of my nieces inspires my inner child and the divine spark within every woman I have ever met motivates me to cry out to my fellow man - No More ! No More ! - put your hand down and raise your heart in celebration of the majesty of all women.

Let No Man Raise His Hand!

I ask that you transform your thoughts to those of peace , love and beauty. I ask that you have a reverence for life that honours the beauty of all living things. I ask that you live a soul centered life that promotes social awareness and achieves positive change. I ask that you open your hearts to all women for to do so connects us with higher wisdom and allows love and joy to flow into our lives. I ask that you reach for the heavens while keeping your feet on the ground thereby facilitating peace in the world and creating abundant new possibilities.

Let No Man Raise His Hand!

Women have an innate connection to the soul that transcends this earthly existence. Let us rejoice in their magnificence and seek the fruit of their wisdom that we may all find a peace profound as we live in harmony. To move forward in life we must realize that happiness is a choice and must make a conscious effort to make better choices. Teach your children well for they are the future of humankind. We spend so much time teaching math and science and far too little time teaching love , honour , respect , compassion , integrity , dignity and truth. If we are to survive we must teach our children to breathe joy and happiness , to embrace respect and compassion , to see selflessly through spiritual eyes.

Let No Man Raise His Hand!

May this simple note inspire you to Light a Candle of Love thereby illuminating a path of spirit nurturing truth that will lead us out of these dark times into a brighter tomorrow.

Tell your Mother you Love her!
Tell your Sister you Love her!
Tell your Daughter you Love her!

Hi Michael,

Frst of all I would like to thank you for the friend invite. Even though it appears I have been with Writer's Cafe for some time, I really only started to begin to understand the posting today and I have made a couple of meager attempts.

This write I must agree with Sydelle, is extremely well done. Abuse of any kind has long been one of my soapbox issues and I will be posting writes on the subject myself. I have not been the victim of abuse but I have met and known many that have been.

I will be back to visit with you again soon. I loved your opening remarks on your Profile page and I can't wait to get to know you better.

Blessings,
Lesa

Hello Michael, It is so hopeful to see that not all men see this is okay.
It is so wonderfull to hear a man speak so passionatly about this. It fills me with admiration of you, i hope to meet more men who view abuse on women in this manner.
Enough is Enough, abuse makes thy soul Exhausted.
Beautiul writing.

Thank you my friend for sharing your thoughts on this subject.
Your words swelled the eyes and left a lump in my throat, for I have lost my mother due to domestic abuse by her partner. (Not my father)
Her passing has left such a huge void in my life, she was the 'rock' of our family until that monster reduced her to gravel, and what eats away at me every day is the fact that he got away with it, even though my mother was covered in bruises and punch marks clearly visible on her face, and body.
His excuse for them was that she was a frail woman and fell against the sink in the bathroom knocking her face as she went down.
Mum was 10 years older than him and suffered terribly with arthritis and was frail.
Myself and my siblings knew that he caused the brain hemorrhage that killed her, but how could we of proved that?
Mum and I had /have strong spiritual beliefs, and I have constant daily contact with her, she is by my side in spirit for in life she was never really there for me and I grew up very lonely, and through a Psychic I was told that she will always be by my side, and she has been.
Thank you once again for sharing your voice with us.
With love and respect...

Holy crap that was amazing!! Absolutely beautiful!!

If you don't mind, I would like to put a link to an organization I work for called Rape is Never Justified (RNJ). We are a support group for the victims/survivors of rape & sexual assault. The links are:

www.rapeisneverjustified.org
www.facebook.com/rapeisneverjustified
www.twitter.com/rnjstaff

I'm posting these here because this very writing is what a lot of our supporters are begging for. They've suffered and are looking for a positive way to bring change so that others will not have to suffer as they have.

Also, I would like your permission to post a link to this writing on our facebook & twitter pages. I believe this will help many of our supporters and encourage them all (both men & women) to stand up and help change our world.

If you don't want the links, I won't be offended if you delete the comment. =]

It's nice to see a man say this. Too long, the only one's I'd seen reach out were other women. As a survivor, I want to thank you for writing this.
