A
Meditation on the Feminine Nature of
Shekinah
Shekinah is She Who
Dwells Within,
The force that binds and
patterns creation.
She is Birdwoman,
Dragonlady, Queen of the Heavens,
Opener of the
Way.
She is Mother of the
Spiritworld, Morning and Evening
Star,
Dawn and
Dusk.
She is Mistress of the
Seas, Tree of Life,
Silvery Moon, Fiery
Sun.
All these are Her
names.
Shekinah is Changing
woman, Nature herself,
Her own Law and
Mystery.
She is cosmos, dark
hole, fiery moment of beginning.
She is dust cloud,
nebulae, the swirl of galaxies.
She is gravity, magnetic
field,
the paradox of waves and
particles.
Shekinah is unseen dark,
invisible web,
Creatrix of complex
systems,
expanding, contracting,
spiraling, meandering,
The beginning of
Wisdom.
Shekinah is Grandmother,
Grandfather,
Unborn Child.
Shekinah is life loving
itself into being.
Shekinah is the eros of
life, limitless desire,
Cosmic orgasm, wave upon
wave of arousal,
hungry and tireless,
explosive and seductive,
the kiss of life and
death, never dying.
Shekinah is home and
hearth, root and rug,
the altar on which we
light our candles.
We live here, in Her
body.
She feeds multitudes
from Her flesh,
Water, sap, blood, milk,
fluids of life, elixir of the
wounded.
Shekinah is the catalyst
of our passion,
Our call to
authenticity.
She warms our hearts,
ignites our vision.
She is the great turning
round,
breathing and pulsating,
pushing life toward illumination.
Womb and Grave, End and
Beginning.
All these are her
names.

Dwells Within by Lynn Gottlieb. Order this
