I offer myself up to the earth and cosmos.
There is no more vulnerable position:
limbs spread
open wide
fully exposed
receptive to the seeds of creation
the soft sounds
the heartbeat
of inspiration
Naked virgin
Annunciation
I did not argue
with the Spirit
or stop to ask my head
to clear it
The messenger said,
“Will you be a Goddess?”
“Who me?” I thought
my usual modest
By dim moonlight
we communed:
Mother of Everything Fulfilled
your resounding yes
vibrates the cosmos
still
You taught us to bear
whatever we need
to let go, let God
let doubt recede
to accept gifts and omens
star-stalking astrologers see
to bear the present
of uncertainty
Mother of Vision
Mentor Sky
Midwife of New Earth robust
Bless me with your radical trust.

About This Poem – This week, I had the insight that it was time to stop speculating about the Big Change Transits and simply to feel the energy of this powerful sky meeting, to switch from left to right brain. This poem came to me as part of that process, and I invite readers to consider a similar respite from focusing on head and what-ifs. Let’s gather under the same sky and feel what God/Goddess is asking us to create—to bear—as in to be born. Let’s share what we hear in the Comments. Since we’re made in the image of the Creator “both male and female,” a new world is being born through each of us individually and, together, through all of us.
I have a special resonance with the Blessed Mother, the Christian Goddess. There are many faces of Goddess, one for every spiritual path and culture. One day, I realized that I had been exposed to one since the beginning. When I was 38 and found my birth families, I learned I was originally named after her. I resonate most to updated images of Mary in modern art. Those images began to break down the barriers in my mind that she was from a time too different and “too holy” for me to find parallels between our lives.
In fact, her unabashed trust in Spirit turns out to be the thing we share in common—well, at least most of the time! Mary is the original Radical Virgo, and the Time to Trust has come again, that thing she modeled so well.
Need help with Radical Trust? One of my favorite flower essences that is can be very helpful under the current sky weather is Barnacle by Pacific Essences. It is specifically for “radical trust.”
