Gentle Mother, Goddess of Light Who is my provider and peacemaker My guardian and counselor Who is my teacher and my grace I lay my weary head down upon your thigh And relax into your comforting embrace As a child with her mother I release my fears and worries over to your care And float, unburdened, in the warmth of your love I bare to you my imperfections and am reminded that I am exactly as I am meant to be I ask you to guide me to always do the next right thing I ask you to remind me to be as forgiving of myself as you are of me My love and trust in you are perfect As your love and guidance for me is perfect Help me to be where my feet are Help me to manifest strength when I need Help me to think and act with compassion for others and myself Help me to forgive more willingly Help me to know and live my truth regardless of others' understanding of it Help me to set aside my defenses and listen with empathy Help me to find a little more patience when I fall short Help me to know when to stand and when to withdraw May I be humbled and inspired by you And may I manifest your motherly love in all directions I travel in this life -gws

Maiden lover
Nurturing mother
Crone warrior
Stronger than diamond
Softer than down
Dirt smudged skin
Beneath a crooked crown
Defining her rules
Living her truth
Not letting others
Assign her worth
Not property
Nor accessory
Not trophy
Nor maid
Not defined by the laws
That man has made
She walks through the world
Defined as she wishes
Not seeking her value
In a title of Mrs.
She writes her story
Each ink stroke her own
And defines her world
By the truth in her bones

Happy International Women’s Day

When I feel small and vulnerable, I turn to that which is wondrous and vast, and remember I am Her daughter and in Her care.

Diving deep into the spirit well
Pulling deeply from the stillness there
Submerged in the star womb of the loving Mother
Surrendering my struggles into her loving arms
Hearing her lullaby whispering gently to me, “Be at peace.
You will fight again tomorrow, but for today, rest with me.”
