The Bond is the Bridge

"Women have always cradled within their bodies secret mysteries

of life, death, and rebirth and the healing, grounding, and balancing

powers of our Mother in the Earth.  We have held these mysteries 

sacred within us as we would carry babies in our wombs."

 Elizabeth Eiler

Singing Voices: Voices of the Sacred Feminine

If we have been gifted with the opportunity to bare a child within our womb, we have experienced both magic and mystical movements.  It is difficult to put into words the feelings generated by a tiny elbow within us, gracefully poking itself across our belly.  Try to describe the sensation of a yet to be born child having the hiccups.

The world, in a sense, is our womb as we are all children of God.  We are trying to develop, but not all of us are healthy.  The silent communication between the Divine and world babies is exceptionally difficult to define.  Nevertheless, between embryos and host mothers and world babies and Divine, a bond is created with love flowing both ways.

For women who have expanded bonds between child and Divine, tread upon Mother Earth with honor and respect.  An inner yearning to care for the earth just as we cared for our young, draws us closer to nature where we experience mysteries.  The bond is the bridge to all that is sacred.
