My morning reading from ‘Braiding Sweetgrass’ by Robin Wall Kimmerer: “The earth, that first among good mothers, gives us the gift that we cannot provide ourselves. I hadn’t realized that I had come to the lake and said, ‘feed me’, but my empty heart was fed. I had a good mother. She gives what we need without being asked. I wonder if she gets tired, old Mother Earth. Or if she too is fed by the giving. ‘Thanks,’ I whispered, ‘for all of this’.”
Remembering that no matter what sort of mother gave birth to us, we did have a good mother, the Earth.
Earth is asking us to come in now. She summons us unto her. She is ready for change. Our outer mind is still busy, trying to figure things out, judging, trying to fix things. We have been absent from our earth home and this is reflected now in the polarities of our outer world. The question is, “what do we belong to?” We have been wandering on a path that leads to death, to darkness. Are we ready to let go of the old ego mind and come on home to our Mother, to Life. I am ready and grateful for all that she has given me. Whispering “Thanks for all of this!”
