Earth Mother
Earth Mother, star mother,
You who are called by a thousand names,
May all remember
We are cells in your body
And dance together.
You are the grain and the loaf
That sustains us each day,
And as you are patient with our struggles to
learn, so shall we be patient
With ourselves and each other.
We are radiant light and sacred dark
-the balance-
You are the embrace that heartens
And the freedom beyond fear.
Within you we are born,
We grow, live and die -
You bring us around the circle
To rebirth,
Within us you dance
Forever.
~Starhawk, in Earth Prayers
