Her sweet, still voice called me from across the courtyard. "Come here child"
I quietly let a small "no." escape my lips.
"Come close, let me hear you", she soothed. "Why do you seek me? Let me hear you."
My mind began to move into high gear. I needed to plead my heart. I earnestly looked upon her face from where I stood, and felt I was standing directly in front of her. I began my prayer.
"Oh, please, Dearest Mother. Guide us and show us love. Help us to choose and help us to understand those choices. Be with us in these hard times. Teach us to love and understand. Give us strength and courage. I ask that by your love, by the love of Nature and by the Spirits that we are able to overcome ourselves and carry on as good beings. Please hear my prayer and help us."
Her stone eyes considered me for a moment. I felt her loving and knowing look sweep past me and then silence.
