Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Silver sisters.

     I recently read an article suggesting that women are increasingly letting their hair grow naturally gray and  longer.  I loved it.  I love the ease of my long hair, but sometimes when I look in the mirror I do see Hansel and Gretel's witch. Society has brainwashed us all to expect women of a certain age to have blond cropped hair. It is nice to have choices. I can be a silver sister if I want.

  The New York Times profiled a group of women who organized a mini-demonstration that featured a "band of silver-haired marchers"
