There was once a mother goddess so gracious and endless that she grew the ground beneath her people. As their population increased, so did their lands, their world, their scientific universe of the known and also the unknown, which waited for their unfolding consciousness. She gave eternally to her people and they wandered each day as far as their bodies would take them and as deep as their minds could fathom until they shut their eyes late into the evening, destined to discover what was further in the coming day. And so the mother goddess with love and benevolence existed with her people in this way for more moon cycles than a soul can count.

On one of her glorious days, as she increased the expanses of their minds and lands, in her grace and wisdom, she stopped and asked herself many questions. I spend all of my time becoming more for these people. In return, they only take it.

I need love.
The kind that loves me back,
that can look me in the eye
and tell me I'm enough.
Eyes that will go with me
(as far as I can take myself)
to witness me
as I prove what I've always known -
that I've done my best.

I need a rainbow
to light my path with hope -
hope of a return on a promise
that it is safe to take care of myself,
to say no,
to claim my wisdom,
to claim my soul!

I can no longer grow for you my people, she declared with love and tears welling and flowing forth from her in floods. I am weary and weakened from your taking. I will always love you, but you must also do your part and in this way, I honor your free will. A new shift in covenants will arise some other tomorrow. And then she disappeared, but only from their sight, and as she said, only for a time.
