Sisters

I have three phenomenal brothers, two older and one younger. Our bond is powerful and dependable. I have grown to be the person that I am in part because of their guidance and love. However, what if I had a sister?Growing up I always wanted to have a sister to share a bedroom with me, and to explore and experience life together. Somehow, I always have felt left out in the
world of sisters. My mom had six sisters, my dad had
three, and my brothers have one. When I first began to explore the notion of creating a room in the cyberfeminist house, one of my first ideas was to have a room with a sister. How exciting I thought, finally a room for me, with a sister. I now could belong. No longer would I be on the outside. Now I could go from being on the outside
to coming IN. I had many ideas of what our room would be like. I thought about what colors I might have on my bedspread and what colors my sister might choose. Would the colors be the same? What would it be like to have a sister? This was like an adventure; a journey along a pathway that I thought would never exist. I began to have an experience of overflowing images. It was like a movie, moving fast right before my eyes. Smiles, laughter, the experience of having a sister. I have taken these visions of having a sister, and I have incorporated my „sisters‰ into my room as a pathway link to a movie of „sisters‰. The pathway link is very symbolic, as is the movie and photographs. Within this inclusive setting of having a sister, I feel as though I now belong. There is empowerment through inclusion.
