You Are the Elemental Birth Mother

All that there is, So too are you.
Earth, water, fire and air - Pulse, flow and dance,
Around you. And in you.
Within you. And without you.

Dare to plunge to the depths of your earthly being.
Find it in your breathing soul
To reach towards the center of your birthing self.

Above and below, inhaling and exhaling,
Trusting and knowing, in your heart of heart
And soul of souls, that you,
Like Mother Earth, can weather the elements.

The Roots of Natural Mothering

   
   
     
     


What is well planted cannot be uprooted.
What is well embraced cannot slip away.
Your descendants will carry on the ancestral sacrifice for
generations without end.

Cultivate virtue in your own person,
And it becomes a genuine part of you.
Cultivate it in the family,
And it will abide.
Cultivate it in the community,
And it will grow.
Cultivate it in the state,
And it will flourish abundantly.
Cultivate it in the world,
And it will be universal.
Hence, a person must be judged as person;
A family as family;
A community as community;
A state as a state;
And the world as world.

How do I know about the world?
By what is within me.

Tao Teh Ching, Lao Tzu
