“What a recovery of the wisdom of the Mother brings to all of us is the knowledge of inseparable connection with the entire creation and the wise, active love that is born from that knowledge.
“Unless the human race realizes with a passion and reverence beyond thought or words its inter-being with nature, it will destroy in its greed the very environment it is itself sustained by.
“Unless our fundamental sacred connectedness with every being and thing is experienced deeply and enacted everywhere, religious, political, and other differences will go on creating intolerable conflict that can only increase the already dangerously high chances of our self-annihilation.
“The Mother’s knowledge of unity, her powers of sensitivity, humility, and balance, and her infinite respect for the miracle of all life have now to be invoked by each of us and practiced if the ‘masculine’ rational imbalance of our civilization is to be righted before its too late.
“Coming to know the hidden and forgotten Mother and the marvelous wisdom of the sacred feminine as revealed from every side and angle by the different mystical traditions is not luxury; it is, I believe, a necessity for our survival as a species.
“Knowing her we will know that we are her divine children in a relationship of complete, unconditionally loving intimacy; we will know that nature is holy in all its sacred particulars because it is everywhere vibrant with her light and her love; we will know that we have come to this earth not, as some patriarchal mystical traditions have implied, to escape it but to embrace it fully, not to ‘transcend’ it but to arrive here in full presence, gratitude and love.
“What knowing the Mother means above all is daring to put love into action. The Mother herself is love-in-action, love acting everywhere and in everything to make creation possible.
“Coming into contact with the Mother is coming into contact with a force of passionate and active compassion in every area and dimension of life, a force that longs to be invoked by us to help transform all the existing conditions of life on earth so that they can mirror ever more clearly and accurately her law, her justice, and her love.”

What a beautiful word expression, of MOTHER.
It has taken me 44 years to completely love the spirit of THE MOTHER.
Mother love is giving in nature, I realised on a recent trip away to a tea tree lake, where Aboriginal woman have birthed for centuries.
The lake was shin high and the water antiseptic in nature from the trees that surround the edge of the lake.
MOTHER NATURE, gives and understand the right amount to find a state of peace and support.
SHE does not see colour, sexual persuasion,wealth, gender or religion.
Her gift is compassion and love.
I love now the essence of MOTHER, in all her forms and glory.
Love MAMMA MYSTIC.

I’m pretty sure that only a vegan, non-corporate, non-materialistic way of life is the only hope we have.

Today, I am exhausted. I’m tired in my body. emotionally, I’m feeling drained. So worn down and beaten blue that tears don’t well up my eyes. My blood runs like heavy tar in my veins. What to do? What to do? Lighten up, sit straight, and fake it till I make it!
