My Divine Mother

source

If God does not equally encompass and represent
 and yet transcend

 the feminine as well as the masculine, 

then that god is too small

to be worthy of worship. 

As it is

I find myself cradled in soft blankets 

on the lap

of my Mother

of my Father

my Friend

the Divine Spark

and the Loving Heart

of Whoever it is

that conceived of

and birthed me

-screaming and blinded by the harsh light-

into the waters of this life.
