Guest poem by Mette Welhaven Næss, written during our 21 day Saraswati Sadhana
There are mothers.
There are birthmothers.
And there are stepmothers.
There are adoptive mothers
and there are soul mothers.
There are real life mothers
and there are heavenly mothers.
There are deceased mothers and mothers alive.
There are mothers of darkness and mothers of light.
And there are mothers of Heavens and of Earth.
There are mother goddesses and the holy womb.
There are angelic mothers of saints and The mother of God.
There are always mothers.
Mothers upon mothers upon mothers.
Earthly mothers.
Holy mothers.
I am told they are all in me.
It takes a while to see.
But in a luminous moment I do.
Mette is a Norwegian and a mother of 4 wonderful children. She now lives in Sweden, with the man of her heart. She is a teacher with autistic children, and a yogini taking her seat in the global sisterhood of awakening women.
