SpokaneFāVS Coverage of religion, spirituality and ethics in the Spokane, Wash. area
I have been told that a mother actually holds the eggs
of her future grand babies in her womb
as the developing fetus, her daughter
holds the eggs that she will carry for a lifetime
Perhaps this is symbolic of the role we hold in this life
Like the woman that is both held in the womb
and carries the potential for life within her own
We too are held in the womb of God
Gifted with the spark of life
and held in compassionate care
Also instilled with the power of life
Called to emulate the love received
Called to an image and likeness beyond our own
To be a conduit of grace
a cycle of love
a ‘theotokos’, God bearer
Called to open the vastness within
to birth Grace
even as we too are born of Grace
What comes first,
the mother or the egg?
Or are they both born together?
