Nourish your mother

We nourish our Earth mother with decay of her fruits and manure

We nourish our Earth Mother with space to grow and breathe

As mothers we grow like lotus flowers... growing through the mud and shit we are given

As mothers we evolve from the decay of maidenhood

As mothers take the trials of their failures and lean into their growth

Emerging as mother through the labour of the pain that transcends and the mother leans in

The mother learns to create her own space, reclaiming her room to breathe

The mother learns that she must take every opportunity like the dandelion growing through the crack in the concrete

That in order to thrive she must water her own body with the drops of rain she squeezes from the heavens like fragments of time

She soaks up the moments and basks in the Sun. Allowing it to penetrate her body fertilising her seed

To burst through with new growth in her spring
