A beautiful reflection. I’m always shocked to see all the ways we could have learned about a Mother God. Do you suggest any specific books / sources to pursuing that line of deconstruction/relearning?
I'm happy to hear this resonated with you, Nikki! I wish I had a single resource to point you too but I have yet to find one. I'm working on a book examining this aspect of God more closely and have found a handful of academic books to be somewhat helpful (Women and the Gender of God by Amy Peeler and the book referenced above by Phyllis Trible). If I come across anymore I'll share!

The book Dance of the Dissident Daughter definitely made me think along these lines!
Yes! Such a good one!
Loved this essay 💛 the more I reflect on the womb & birth, the more spiritual resonances I find. Thanks for these words!
So much richness woven in the miracle of it!
Oh yes!
Enclosed… held… squeezed
Brava to this whole essay- these 3 words and being with God will stay with me 💛
I’m speechless.
