God be with the mother.
As she carried her child
may she carry her soul.
As her child was born,
may she give birth to her own, higher truth.
As she nourished and protected her child
may she nourish and protect her inner life
and her independence.
For her soul shall be
her most painful birth,
her most difficult child,
and the dearest sister to her other children.
