Ariadne Sawyer

Dedicated to Muriel Arnason
& the women of the past, present and future.

Rise Up Women!

Women be strong
Cultivate your strength from the depths of the earth
From the glowing essence of your soul.

Rise up women!
Be assertive,
avoid aggression.
Embrace the equality of races, gender and age.

Rise up women!
In the name of respect
Honour
Support
& love.

Rise up women!
Empower your daughters
Your sons
And your community

Rise up women!
Transform the planet,
Heal the earth.
Save the two legged and the four legged.

And change the world!
