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 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.

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

such a brilliant and insightful piece. This needed to be written. look at the news now....Rihanna got beat up by her boyfriend Chris Brown and she took him back.....whats wrong with this picture? so sad.....

[SoftballBabe101]

i think that this piece of writing is awesome! and that if all men could have enough self control... and maybe go to some anger management classes... that there wouldnt be as much violence , and that we would be able to live in a safer environment to raise children, so they arent exposed to this kind of stuff in households.

Thank you for writing this, and more importantly, thank you for believing this.

[Erica Jo Smith]

I'm in love with this piece. Thank you so much for writing this! Amazing!

There is so much truth to this..but abuse doesnt just start and stop with the physical.
There is also emotional abuse, financial abuse, spiritual abuse, sexual abuse, control over every aspect of your life.
Please understand that I am not making physical abuse small, its not...its vast and there is way too much of this going on.
I was in a relationship where there was a lot of emotional, spiritual and financial abuse and control.
There were times I remember telling him to just please hit me and walk away and be done with the torture.
I believe that emotional and psycological abuse is just as bad as physical...if not worse, because you cannot see the wounds of the heart or a spirit crushed.
Its all bad and useless in my opinion and I know that I still have a long time to heal.
Fact is, here in the good ol USA if you do not have marks, good luck getting much help.
You do have powerful words my friend and I admire your strength and clarity in your words...I think that everyone thats involved in abuse should read this.

A very powerful and inspiring work you have written. I wish all men would
read it as well as women. I like what you wrote and wish it would
happen. We need so much more love and compassion in the world. The word
is dominated by hate and violence that just seems to be okay. It's acted upon
after it happens, nothing is done to prevent it. Thanks for writing this.

I agree that more attention needs to be brought to this. I think that most women are too afraid to leave and they need to know that there is nothing to be afraid of if they leave people will be there to protect them. This is very well done. Nice job.

[Brianna Brie]

Misplaced rage and anger...sad indeed. Thanks for speaking out against it.

[Kourtnii]

This is a really breathtaking piece. It brought thoughts about caring and control.

And it really made me think about all the things in life Ive overlooked, and things I havent looked at carefully.
