Goddess of Stone

I am EARTH.

I hold the now and anchor this present moment. Wind may ruffle me. Still I hold. I have seen so many now’s. Still I hold. I am fundamental ground.

I was born from light. Before this here and now, I was asteroid and meteor, the stuff of stars.  I came from light. Now I am the loamy dark place where new life takes root. I am the substrate, the fundamental ground where it all begins.

I hold physical here and now. I am both anchor and dock. I may assume many forms – sand, rock, clay, dirt. Yet in every form I am here to hold life. The physical begins with me.

Touch is my lover. I revel in the sacred caress of plant and animal bodies to my earth. I love to give the seeds a place to root and the waters a place to flow. I offer the wind a destination.  Sun and Moon love to dance with me.

I am still, quiet, calm ground.  I am EARTH.  I am Stone Goddess.
