erdmutter (What's your relationship to the Earth?)

Posted on Apr 22nd, 2007 by Donan : inwit Donan
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for April 22, 2007:

erdmutter--

I am the hunter and the hunted
I am tiller and the tilled

I am protector and protected
I am miller and the milled

I am destroyer and demolished
I am healer and the healed

I am the feeder and the fed on
I am farmer and the field

I am consumer and consumed
I am baker and the bread

I am the lover and beloved
I am the hope that lies ahead

I am the mother and the mothered
I am decider and the willed

I am the warfare and the warred on
I am quieter and stilled

I am the prayer and the prayed for
I am the teacher and the taught

I am the plenty and I’m famine
I am everything and naught

Donan… that would be lovely. I have to say that those words did not originate as a thought of mine. They are lyrics to a song..

Spiraling into the Center
– original words by Lorna Kohler:
Spiraling into the center, the center of my shield.
Spiraling into the center, the center of my shield.
I am the weaver,
I am the woven one.
I am the dreamer,
I am the dream.

be well. angela
