Our Mother Mourns

When Mother Nature experiences loss, she feels the pain all the way to her core. She retreats to the deep woods.  Her pain turns to anger and she moves the earth. She rains tears and grieves in the darkness. She feels helpless and vulnerable but moves toward the light. She is deeply saddened. The sun sets and rises, the stars dim and shine, the tides ebb and flow. The moon shines as her beacon light. She accepts the natural process to mourn, and she mourns deeply. Our Mother creates the space for healing.   

"At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of the summer, we remember them."
