my period always comes on with the full moon... it starts the day before, is heaviest on the full moon and then tapers off quickly. I love it that way... makes me feel connected.
When I was a teenager, my mom, sister and I all bled at about the same time. It was kinda cool for us, not so much for my brother and father ;)
And... I don't know if whole communities of women could have had the exact same cycle... I mean, most communities had the women isolating themselves... that would have left only the very old, very young and pregnant to do all the work ... could that have even worked out? I don't know.... especially since in my family the women rarely reach full menopause (my grandmother is almost 90 and still bleeds every few months)
Interesting thoughts. Thanks for waking up my brain this AM!
