In the Beginning was the Word. The Word marked the moment in Consciousness when all possibility stood at attention and then began to flow. The Word became the Channel by which all possibility flowed into potential which became what happened. The thing that happened became the beginning of time and we called that beginning Mother because the whole world was born from the Word.

My whole world was born from the Word. From the beginning of time to this moment, all potential that became me worked its way from that first connection to time. Each time potential collapsed into reality, I was one step closer to being born. Every reality that gave birth to a new reality is my mother. Every mother that gave birth to a new mother created new possibility. I was born of this reality and I gave birth to this reality. I am one of a long line of mothers being born and giving birth to evolution.

I know this for me and I know this for everyone who reads this prayer. Whether the reader is female or male, each birth is a new reality. I affirm and declare that the whole universe is on my side and on the side of everyone else, too. The Universe is for everyone and against no one so I mark the spot where this realization takes bloom and walk away from the life that does not bring life or love. I embrace the good, embrace love, and know, without a doubt, that my life is constantly evolving. My mother gave birth to evolution and so did I. It’s a glorious day!

Thank you, Mother Word, Mother Potential for all that you have done. Thank you for evolution. Thank you for mothers all over the world who nurture the lives that bring peace to our plant. I am so grateful.

I rest in my gratitude and in the word and I let it be. And so it is. Amen.
