Elemental Mothering

When I flower with desire,
I am fire.

When I labor to give birth,
I am earth.

When I sacrifice on the altar,
I am water.

When I lose track of when and where,
I am air.

Weft threads to be woven.

Energy, stability, fluidity, and expansion,

motherhood requires constant adaption.
