‘All is Given’

A mother gives her body to create her child;

Only through the portal of woman, does Spirit arrive,

All is given in the lunar cycles - a mother, birthing and dying

Every month

The power elixirs within her - give rise to a new being, her precious child

A mother’s love, forgiveness and pain -

Our first home, within her and of her,

Is always the same

Matrilineal lineage tells a scarred story,

Of all the mothers - their sacrifice and losses -

To continue the rise of Original Innocence,

Through love, dedication

Unconditionally,

Often in their own, unique way.

Oil on wood
