I feel your breath on my skin like the gentle wind blowing in my face as I open the window to my garden in the morning.  I breathe your air, feeling it enter me.  It becomes our breath, our clean, sweet air.

You surround me in vibrant color with red, yellow, purple, and blue wildflowers dancing at my feet.  Sweet and pungent, your scent drifts toward me, warming me, reminding me of loves I have known.  Memories of passion, each embrace a sacred moment with you.

Dew-fresh, I am called to gaze upon your beauty. I touch your sweet petals; they unfold, soft as velvet to my touch. I am renewed with your awakening.

My own heat rises as your sunlight streams upon me.  With your energy pulsing through me I am transformed.  Passion stirs in me. I am at once lifted, seeking and yearning for your embrace.  Feeling my heart, beating to your rhythm, I am reminded of the joy in life.

Your Holy Waters bring forth life. Sweet gentle stream, I lay beside you in such pleasure. I dream of loss, renewal, and then, hope.  I feel the life force of my womb, which once brought forth life. I recognize your flow in my blood, my woman's blood, now but a memory in this crone's body, still strong and sure.

Suddenly I am in all waters, first riding the wave of the ocean, reveling in the speed of my body moving with the wave, then in a cascading waterfall, which showers me in newness. 

I lie on the ground and feel you, Mother.  Your cool, damp soil runs through my fingers, and I feel the moistness of your body.  I am grounded, held close in your embrace.  The grass nestles me in softness and I am strengthened by the simplicity of your care. I am healed by your love, Mother.

Seeking to pull the warmth of your golden rays to me, I reach for you in the sky and feel your heat like that of a lover, quickening my pulse, my Yoni longing for surrender.

Earth and Water, Air and Fire, you surround me all my days.  All that my eyes gaze upon is of you, within me and without.

Creatrix, Mother of All Life, I thank you for this experience of Be-ing in your embrace.
