Honoring The Goddess

Spring Thing

For International Women's day, I honor all women. The Grandmothers, mothers, daughters, and sisters. May we remain strong for our human family during this most challenging epoch.

I decided to share this fractal I made to celebrate the coming Spring Equinox. The rebirth of the beautiful Goddess upon which we all reside, and depend upon.

As a mother, I have often faced the ingratitude of my sons, and it got me thinking about how much that can hurt sometimes. Then, as my brain is apt, thousands of thoughts about humanities toddlerhood, and, presently, our adolescence. As a species, we are operating at a collective mental evolutionary level of immaturity. We may have many individuals amongst us, who are awake, or waking that could be on the verge of adulthood. They are often thought crazy unfortunately.

Like a teenager, to the voice of reason of their parental guides. We think we got this, but...we most certainly do not " got this."

It can be improved, mind you, that is a certainty. It does however, require, a number of mental realizations that only occur once we reach adulthood...IF we reach adulthood.

I am ever the optimist despite boat loads of evidence to the contrary.

Crazy right?? Just kidding.

First, and Inevitably, we must address accountability.

We all know, as we mature, that success lies in great personal accountability. The knowing that we must take responsibility for our actions and deeds. In life, love, and career, our choices Will directly affect our situations. Individually, many people manage to grow into the accountability that keeps us from having temper tantrums, and blaming external sources for our miseries.

Now, that same maturity, that level of accountability, needs to be transposed onto Global situations. Onto environmental situations.

Onto Solutions.

Humanity has potential, that is inarguable. As do each of us individually. We each individually, and collectively, could be so much more than we could ever dream. When we are mired in self doubt, we lack of confidence. Also a trait of adolescence.

As adults, we find our footing still tenuous, though we try with all our hearts not to reveal this uncertainty. Whatever confidences and successes we have accomplished, we will find are based on strong foundations of true action and hard work.

On the truth.

No one else is responsible for that growth. This brings a clear picture, based on facts and proven outcomes. Of how to make reality a much more tenable place to be.

For that realization.

So today on International Women's day, I honor Our collective mother, for tolerating our unruly and selfish outbursts. As a mother myself, I have so much compassion for her. While I am sure she is praying for us all to grow up and realize our true ability to improve.

To thrive and grow in an expansive and balanced way.

To Acknowledge the very real set of laws we are subject to as mortals, living in a wildly abundant realm.

If we don't dismantle the tireless work this planetary body has endured to have created an environment so perfect for us.

The end of our destructive practices would heal the collective heart and soul issues that are currently being experienced by so many. We used to think we NEEDED whale oil or we would not be okay. We hunted them almost to the brink of extinction.

Until we discovered fossil fuels.

Now it is like we are hunting our very selves to extinction, along with every other life form on earth. we have not grown in 100 years. We are stunted. we have had a century and so much progress. Some obvious, some utterly hidden and subjugated in the name of the petro dollar.

So are we doomed?

Depends...

The Second stage of personal maturity, Engagement.

Not to another person, but with actions and solutions. The Summit Meetings have been at least, an open dialogue, at best a pantomime of effort. Like an adolescents half hearted attempt to find a job...(I love you son).

The Convergence of the concept of the Summit meetings must now bleed into the societal and grass roots realities. Where actionable projects are the only way towards success in our new maturity.

Are we actively engaging with our own souls? Also the greater societal, and biological realities?

Within which, all possibility available to us in our current reality abides.

From one Womyns mouth to God/ Goddesses Ears...So Mote it Be
