Giving the Light by Protyus A. Gendher
Giving The Light
It’s like mothering,
Nurturing nourishment,
Guidance and care,
Constant unconditional consideration
Time spent over intangible rewards
Hoping, waiting, wishing,
Worry and sorrow,
Unavoidable accountability,
Seeking right answers,
Yes, it’s like mothering, but it’s not mothering.
It’s like grandmothering,
Watching a family transcend,
With broadened focus,
Teaching tradition through the transition,
Welcoming in
A big picture of tertiary experience
So many right answers,
Beauty in the variation
Adapting to the change
Yes, it’s like grandmothering, but it’s not
Grandmothering
It’s like godmothering
Thoughts preoccupied in future tense
Given over to outcomes
A guiding focus filled with faith
The best dreams doused with kind understanding
A security blanket giving direction
Never primary
Never central
From answers to conclusions
Yes, it’s like godmothering, but it’s not godmothering
It’s like Faery Godmothering
Unexpected magic
Mystical connection
Creation given over to awe and inspiration
Wishes Answered
Needs fulfilled
Secret desires realized in the rarest moments
A chosen few
It’s like Faery Godmothering, but it’s not Faery Godmothering

f self, the seeds of hope
