Here I can talk about my admiration for the Earth- the mother. I've had a vision that she is like a giant woman, like the kind you see in new age art. I've felt held by her. I notice sometimes when I trace back my biological evolution logically that I grew from her. I say "her" because the difference between her and it is a matter a person verson a non-person. Earth is a celestial person as I see it.
The Roman's named the month of June in honor of the Goddess Juno, the matriarch and the one that monitors affrairs and protects women. I sometimes experience Earth as a nurturer. She gives us materials to build houses with and food to eat, and when I feel that I need something to give me strength I can look to her I'm certain because she loves me and I think that she wants me to grow. I do hug trees on ocasion, but one thing I do more often is to gaze at nature and be persistent in seeing through to her wonder and complexity. I might not always feel reverence and respect for the forest but I do see that trees are large and living and I want to be in comunion with them even when I am cut off with my perception.
A mother is someone that I remember as puring out love to me. "Here my son, my darling son, my son, my darling, darling son."
She soothes me, takes my grief away. She says it's ok to breathe in, to take, to consume her. She gives of herself. She's my huge mother and I love her.
