Going through the living room library of books smashed into the bookshelves... I find a hard covered book my dad put together - after my mom died - of many of her writings. I open the book up to the following poem... And my heart soars... Thank you, Mom.
SOPHIA
In the Beginning
when Energy
dense
constricted
fast-bound
exploded
I was here.
When inanimate matter
transformed itself
into living cells
dividing
growing
branching out
I was here.
When life
now sentient
in seething, steaming waters
first clambered on to land
I was here.
When Earth's creatures
unfolding
emerging
ever more complex
ripened into human form
and seized the energy
of the sun
I was there.
I suffused all that is
with my Wisdom
the Wisdom
of great age
of limitless experience
of infinite knowledge
of boundless love.
I am in the stardust.
I am in you.
- Martha hope West
(Note: For those not familiar with the Goddess Sophia, you can find out more here, but, please remember... Sophia was around a long time before Christianity. They just took her over because she is so awesome.)
Beautiful poem. And what a stunning collage!
ReplyDeleteHi Melanie,
ReplyDeleteI am interested to include some of your polymer clay works in an exhibition at Gaffa Gallery in Sydney. Could you please send me your email address so that I may send you further information about this.
Cheers,
