An Expression Of Love For My Mom & Yours

I Am Because She Is......
For all the women who inspired me to be all that I am

Woman! As such is the giver and sustainer of life. She is my mother, my grandmother, and my mother-n-law. She is my sister, my aunt, my daughter and because she is I am. I am able to walk, to talk, to even feed myself. I am able to know pain and comfort, joy and sadness, what feels good and what doesn’t. Because she is, I went to class, I ate green things, UGH!, to help me grow strong. I learned that I can do anything, not excluding, tread water. She cooked, she cleaned, she loved and she taught, and because she is, I Am. I am bold, I am strong, I am able to climb the highest mountains, I am able to fly the friendly skies and even pierce them to walk on the moon, I am able to exceed any limitations while knowing they only truly exist in my mind. I am able to lead nations, I am able to bring peace, I am able to put an end to war or be the greatest warrior, all because she is.

There is now nothing that is impossible for me, all because she is. I Am, gives me the strength to do all that's in my heart. Behold there's nothing to hard for Him. He made her as the perfect and most complete part of man. Putting him to sleep, to remove from him one small part to make a new whole. All because, she is.... The perfect help, and because, it was not good for him to be alone. She comes alongside him, complete and whole, always making up the difference. Because she was removed from him, he can never be complete without her, and my how he has tried! He hunts, and gathers, he assembles himself amongst those most like him, only to feel the longing to return to her. She is his friend, his counselor, his companion, his lover, his very strength.

Oh woman, Oh woman, Oh woman, Where art thou?! We are scorched by the day’s sun as grass having no water; we are unable to know ourselves. Who are we, who am I. I am only a man, a predator, with tunnel vision, without her peripheral ability, I am doomed to chase and chase, even to find and not know satisfaction in that which I have found. I start wars, pillage and plummet. I maimed, I murder. I rape, I kill, and subject her to the worst abuse known. I silence her, I cover her, I take away her dreams and then I leave her. I am broken because I have disregarded that which was taken out of me. Instead of drawing near, I push away. Instead of reverence, I degrade the very best part of me. Who can help me to return to all that I Am, Who shall make me whole again?

He said," In the latter times, I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy. That’s right your daughters! Daughters of this world, It is your time to arise from the shallow distance and existence, which has caused you to try to be him, which has caused you to battle with she, who is you. He has watched and laughed and said, what good is she? Well, I am so glad you asked.......
She is the mother of all living, her pillow whispers have changed the course of this world many times over. She has replenished the world and all that is in it. She has waited patiently and at times impatiently for her strengths to be called upon and recognized.

Women of the world, our lovers, our friends, our supporters, "Blessed art thou and highly favored amongst creation. He said from the cross, "Woman behold thy son, and to him whom he loved, He said son behold thy mother. There is no complete life apart from her. Therefore, let us behold her, let us honor her, let us together with her, lift ourselves and or society. Because after all, I Am Because She Is!
