THE FIELD
Matter of the Mother
Description:
The blessing of the Mother is essential to me. She is full of love, abundance, and acceptance. She gives her matter — like fertile soil — for the growth of all my ideas. Receiving my countless seeds, she gently offers each a place within her womb: mountains for some, meadows for others.
Her smile is the tenderness of dawn, her eyes shine with warmth. Like a child pressed close to her, I drink the milk from the Starry Ladle and fill myself with its strength. My pulse softens; my body rests in her luxurious forests, and the coolness of mountain evenings brings peace and joy. The diversity of the Great MA fills me with such awe that in gratitude my open heart grows warm. I feel my body keenly. My soul is ready to be warmed again. Inspiration comes to me from the beauty and power, the fullness and the eternal wisdom that reside in her.
I watch how the evening light gently outlines the curves of soft mountains, resembling a woman’s body relaxing in quiet pleasure, awakening the desire to possess her. I breathe deeply the fragrance of meadows rich with the pollen of flowers. Desire awakens within me to place my ideas into form, to give them body, to manifest them in the world. The Madonna smiles softly — and the thread of my Fate is quietly woven from Fortune and Misfortune. I accept it.
Guidance:
Acceptance of the wise “suchness” of everything that exists in the material world is fertile soil for harmonious transformation.
Gratitude for what already exists in your life nourishes the future sprouts of ideas just as the warmth of the earth nourishes a seed. Acceptance of your body — its value, its presence — allows you to fill it with love and attention.
Acceptance of your current material circumstances helps you redirect them toward what you desire without strain or force. Acceptance of your responsibilities reduces irritation,
removing unnecessary expectations and the pain that comes when they are not fulfilled.
