Post #42: In which tending the Mother ...
Hi Jenny,
How interesting…our different ways of retelling the same story…the same message!
This poem was written about 15 years ago when I was becoming familiar with the goddess archetypes.
Best to you, Bonnie
SEDNA
She chose to wed
an abusive man
When she fled
from him
her own father
to save himself
cut off her hands
and let her drown
Her revenge
was strong and swift
She withheld
all sustenance
making them
beg for their food
until they understood
her perfect right
for respect
I've read many versions of this old tale. I've always loved it!
