When I sit back and take the time to look for her I see the Goddess in so many places. In the morning and evening sky just before the sun reaches or drops below the horizon, in the flowers around my house, in the joy of watching my children grow, and in the love and peace I feel when I'm with my sisters. As I do the self blessing I can feel the Goddess awaken inside me. I feel as thought I'm opening up in the same way a flower blossoms. But I think the Goddess is with me most when I'm holding my children. The love and peace that combine within me as they lie their heads on my shoulder and snuggle in brings me to joyful tears. There is no just way to put into words how beautifully peaceful this time with a child is. The Goddess is with us, surrounding us and I feel we are a part of her.
I know that if each person in the world could just feel that love for a moment and keep that feeling with them always, the world would be a much better place. I believe we are all born knowing the Goddess's love and for whatever reason we forget it. I am just thankful that I have found the feeling again. I know that as my children grow this precious time will pass from my life. I feel a slight pain in this, but will carry the love of the Goddess with me in this memory always. I also look forward to realizing her more within my changing self. I'm sure that there are going to be so many more ways she will express herself to me, but the gift of mother and child combined as one is the one that will always be her greatest gift to me. |
