Praise for the Mother of Us All

You are the cauldron of wisdom,
From which inspiration flows.
You are the broad Earth,
which gives birth to all life.
You are the circling Moon,
ruling the tides of oceans and women.
You are the endless night sky,
filled with numberless stars.
You are a grove of birth trees,
shining in the forest deeps.
You are the Mother of us all,
and we look to you in wonder and awe.

THE ETHIOPIAN DRAGON

It has been reputed that several dragons have lived on the coast of Ethiopia from time to time. These huge monsters were reported to be twenty cubits in length (over 30 ft. long!) and had two or sometimes four wings. These dragons were both feared and held in awe for their skill at killing elephants.

Some People – A.H. Maslow

“(Some people) have a wonderful capacity to appreciate again and again, freshly and naively, the basic goods of life, with awe, pleasure, wonder, and even ecstasy.” — A.H. Maslow
