I became aware of both masculine and feminine sides of both sexes very early on life, in heterosexual people.
When in medical school, you could see the faculty, masculine and feminine, with their dominant sides, choosing specific specialties. Most paediatricians were women, not because their "mother instinct" but because they care. Masculine dominance was seen in specialties that were in "doing" specialties, such as many of the surgical fields.Sensitive men went into the thinking specialties, such as Neurology, Endocrinology, Genetics.
I notice that my playlist over the years reflected a feminine sensitivity. I listen to this song at least once a day.
Every time I listen to a singer, I would like to know more about the singer. I was heartbroken to learn about Lhasa de Sela who is singer in the above video.
The Mexican-American singer-songwriter Lhasa de Sela, who has died aged 37 of breast cancer, created three extraordinary albums over the course of 12 years. She achieved fame more by word of mouth than through the media, but won various awards, including the Québécois Félix in 1997, a Canadian Juno in 1998 and a BBC award for world music in 2005.

WHAT ALL HAPPENS IN THE COURSE OF A DAY
I TAKE PABLO NERUDA'S ADVICE SERIOUS TO MY HEART
This poem is a great reminder of how precious life is. As Neruda writes, “joy in all things, in what falls and what flourishes.” Enjoy life, appreciate its beauty, and know that it takes just one moment for everything to change.
—Vicki Genna
How much happens in a day
In the course of a day we shall meet one another.
But, in one day, things spring to life—
they sell grapes in the street,
tomatoes change their skin,
the young girl you wanted
never came back to the office.
they sell grapes in the street,
tomatoes change their skin,
the young girl you wanted
never came back to the office.
They changed the postman suddenly.
The letters now are not the same.
A few golden leaves and it’s different;
this tree is now well off.
The letters now are not the same.
A few golden leaves and it’s different;
this tree is now well off.
Who would have said that the earth
with its ancient skin would change so much?
It has more volcanoes than yesterday,
the sky has brand-new clouds,
the rivers are flowing differently.
Besides, so much has come into being!
I have inaugurated hundreds
of highways and buildings,
delicate, clean bridges
like ships or violins.
with its ancient skin would change so much?
It has more volcanoes than yesterday,
the sky has brand-new clouds,
the rivers are flowing differently.
Besides, so much has come into being!
I have inaugurated hundreds
of highways and buildings,
delicate, clean bridges
like ships or violins.
And so, when I greet you
and kiss your flowering mouth,
our kisses are other kisses,
our mouths are other mouths.
and kiss your flowering mouth,
our kisses are other kisses,
our mouths are other mouths.
Joy, my love, joy in all things,
in what falls and what flourishes.
in what falls and what flourishes.
Joy in today and yesterday,
the day before and tomorrow.
the day before and tomorrow.
Joy in bread and stone,
joy in fire and rain.
joy in fire and rain.
In what changes, is born, grows,
consumes itself, and becomes a kiss again.
consumes itself, and becomes a kiss again.
Joy in the air we have,
and in what we have of earth.
and in what we have of earth.
When our life dries up,
only the roots remain to us,
and the wind is cold like hate.
only the roots remain to us,
and the wind is cold like hate.
Then let us change our skin,
our nails, our blood, our gazing;
and you kiss me and I go out
to sell light on the roads.
our nails, our blood, our gazing;
and you kiss me and I go out
to sell light on the roads.
Joy in the night and the day,
and the four stations of the soul.
and the four stations of the soul.
