Letter to the Goddess By Rhiannon

Great Goddess,  

You amaze me. I live in such a beautiful world. I know it's not what it once was. Once upon a time humans saw that the beautiful Earth beneath their feet was their own Mother's body. They didn't dream of wanting to defile or hurt that. They understood that their life depended on being one with you, respecting you and loving you. I'm sorry that humanity has not been kind to you of late, Mother Goddess. I promise that I will seek to be the change I want to see taking place. I am only one but I am still one and I am one with you.  

I love to become still and experience my oneness with you, Goddess. All I need is the sky above me and a patch of ground to lay me down on. I stretch out and close my eyes and just feel your loving support beneath me. Then I open my eyes to the star-filled heavens and ponder the endlessness above me. It is enough. The tightly clasped fingers of my restless mind relax their grip and I sail along with you through space and time. I match my heartbeat to yours. This is true magic. This is what true holiness feels like.    

There are so many of us on this beautiful jewel called Planet Earth. You've given me so many companions. There are those that walk on two legs and four legs and those that swim in your waters and fly in the sky, even those who slither and crawl along with me and those that are rooted in one place, connecting earth and sky. The trees that shade and shelter me are far older than me. What have they witnessed? And the rocks and stones that are your bones: what can they tell me?  

Thank you for the pleasure and peace I get from growing my garden, Mother. Thank you for the beauty and the gift of each season. Thank you for sunshine that warms me and rain that nourishes me. Thank you for velvety snow and sparkling ice in winter's stillness. Thank you for every kind of flower. Thank you for my family, both in the flesh and in the Spirit and for dogs and cats who've given me comfort and love. Thank you for birds and bees and for friendship. Thank you for the radiant moon, flowing through her monthly courses above me as my own body answers to them here below. Thank you for your infinite, starry universe. Thank you for help and guidance and the process of growth. Thank you for the chance to become older and wiser as I experience the path set before me. Thank you, Great Mother, that you are you and I am your daughter.  

Blessed be! 

Rhiannon
