Great Mother Bear
You feel her
under your feet.
You enter her
realm through the roots
of the tree
that knows you.
She is
endlessly nurturing, fertile and abundant.
She will nurse
you and heal you as she cares for her cubs.
You can call on
her blessing at any time,
once you have found
the courage to enter her embrace.
She calms the
mad warrior in men.
She strips the
berserkers of old skins.
Serve her, and
you join the army of the Great Mother
whose purpose
is to protect, not destroy.
She will defend
you, even from yourself.
When you call
back your lost children,
she will hold
you together in her vast embrace
until you are
one, and whole.
When you reach
across the jagged rifts in your family
to forgive and
make well, you feel her rolling pleasure.
