TRIBUTE & TEACHINGS: Birth


The memory of my children's mothers carrying our children refreshes every dry and hard spot within me. It moistens who we were together, and who we are now in alignment with our children, and grandchildren. It affirms life intangibly in a way rhetoric, a new job, money cannot and never will.

Life is precious.

I teach young men that within their loins their children live watching their father live his life. They mimic. They think about their fathers. They absorb. They exist. Their presence should be guides to better thoughts, better actions. A man has but one womb: his Sacred Dream, the why of his existence. To care for it is to acknowledge his dependence upon the Life Giver of his life who has two wombs: one  receives his seed, and his essence. The other is her Sacred Dream: the why of her existence upon the Earth, our Mother.

You can't say it enough because it is not common knowledge, so I say this one more time. © Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11.16.12
