Oh Blessed Great Mother I’ve been so far away from You, so bewildered and lost
Searching frantically in the Underworld, misguided and alone Show me how to breathe, to connect with the beating of Your strong Heart Remembering You….. moment by moment, body to body, Your cells as mine You have always been here , whilst it is I who was separate and scattered Teach me how to surrender, to trust and melt into Your loving embrace Show me the breath taking beauty, the power of Your darkness and unfolding That I may trust more and more to the ever changing magic, the raw wisdom of the Immanent One I call on Kali, Durga, Tara, Lakshmi and Lalita, the long nights of Dhumavarti I call on the power of Shakti and embrace the feminine, Her receptivity, grace and glory She who cannot be separate from her Beloved but who sings with different voices, In all forms – the mountains, trees, insects and birds, the oceans, stars, animals and flowers Forgive me for straying for so very long, away from Your nourishing support, your holding arms Forgive me for abandoning You, dear Mother, as I did myself, for favouring the masculine and keeping it all ‘together’ The rest that now is possible, with Your tender and unbridled mercy The dropping of the soft rose petals when it’s time to let go, death and rebirth over and over…… Thank you for bringing me ‘home’ to my body…..to imperfection…....to face my shadow, heal my wounds To the pause between the breath, the empty womb of nothingness, the recognition of pure possibility This space of the empty dark womb, the unconditional safety that is Yours to give To this FIERCE LOVE that in honouring You ……. can bring Heaven to Earth.
