Mother: an exploration of motherhood and creation

In the beginning was Sound, and Sound was with God, and Sound was God.

Mother

In the beginning God created heaven and earth.

Through the sound of Her travail, she birthed life into the void.

From the waters of Her womb, is all of life sustained.

I wonder, when God was a woman, was the foundation

more stable?

Did creation exist in greater harmony?

Mother is the cornerstone of creation.

From Her womb, nations were birthed.

In the homes of mothers, tomorrow's leaders are shaped.

Motherhood and creation in cohesive flow.

The weight of the world rests squarely on mothers' shoulders;

yet many societies confine her to a subordinate role.

It's time we call down the wisdom of The Mother.

It's in the echo of her song:

Wade in the water

Wade in the water, children

Wade in the water.

God's gonna trouble the water.

It's in the anointing of her blessed oil

and in the ritual of her nightly prayers.

Find her power to destroy the yoke as you walk the floor on your family's behalf.

Embody her artful ability to adapt and bend her environment to her will.

It's time to cast down the strongholds that have kept you bound.

Our grandmothers shout for us to raise the standard as the enemy comes in like a flood.

They say, "The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy."

But we are not left without a way of escape.

We must only slow down and listen.

Our gifts stir within us.

The still small voice calls us to the secret place.

Seek ye first the kingdom that lives within.

The rest shall be added unto you.

The mothers yearn for the manifestation of the daughters of God.

They intercede on our behalf--conjuring the elevation of our souls.

They asked me to tell you that they are waiting.

They said, "We will see you at the crossroads."
