WOMAN AND NATURE: The Roaring INSIDE HER (1978)

He says that woman speaks with nature. That she hears voices from under the earth. That wind blows in her ears and trees whisper to her. That the dead sing through her mouth and the cries of infants are clear to her. But for him this dialogue is over. He says he is not part of this world, that he was set on this world as a stranger. He sets himself apart from woman and nature.
And so it is Goldilocks who goes to the home of the three bears, Little Red Riding Hood who converses with the wolf, Dorothy who befriends a lion, Snow White who talks to the birds, Cinderella with mice as her allies, the Mermaid who is half fish, Thumbelina courted by a mole. (And when we hear in the Navaho chant of the mountain that a grown man sits and smokes with bears and follows directions given to him by squirrels, we are surprised. We had thought only little girls spoke with animals.)
We are the bird’s eggs. Bird’s eggs, flowers, butterflies, rabbits, cows, sheep; we are caterpillars; we are leaves of ivy and sprigs of wallflower. We are women. We rise from the wave. We are gazelle and doe, elephant and whale, lilies and roses and peach, we are air, we are flame, we are oyster and pearl, we are girls. We are woman and nature. And he says he cannot hear us speak.
But we hear.

He says that woman is talking with nature. That he hears voices from under the ground. The wind blowing in her ears and the trees whispering. That the dead sing her mouth and that means crying children. But for him, this dialogue has ended. He says that he is not part of this world that have been placed in this world as alien. Earmarks from women and nature.
So it's Goldilocks, which comes the three bears' cottage, Little Red Riding Hood, who spoke with the wolf, Dorothy, which befriends a lion, Snowdrop, which tells the strikes, Cinderella with their mouse friend, Little Mermaid, which is half fish, Palculienka on by applying mole. (And when we hear people sing the Navajo tribe on top, which sits on an adult man, pofajčieva with bears and followed the path which he directed squirrels, we are surprised. We thought that only little girls talk to animals.)
We eggs of birds. Eggs of birds, flowers, butterflies, rabbits, cows, sheep, and we are worms, we ivy leaves and twigs horčičníka. We are women. Rises from the waves. We gazelles and rope, elephant and whale, lilies and roses and peaches, we air, we flame, we oysters and pearls, we are girls. We are women and nature. And he says he can not hear us talk.
But we hear.
