Sun Goddess

I Am called Amaterasu in Japan.

I have been called Mother

since humans could speak.

I Am the Sun, Great Mother of the Earth

My vibrant thought spins everything into being.

I shine on all equally, everywhere, forever.

In the core of the earth, in your deepest heart,

I Am the Source of energy for life.

I Am the flame of inner light, of growth.

Emperors claim I give them power.

Womben of Japan! Awake!

You are the Sacred Cave!

Step out of the shadow of emperors, of men!

Open your kimonos, homes and temples,

and raise your arms to Me

as you did since the dawn of time!

Reclaim My energy and shine your radiance,

for healing, justice, balance, joy and peace.

The future is in eclipse.

For the children yet unborn:

for hope, beautiful beyond all grief and loss:

open the well-spring of each heart,

open the circuit of community,

to channel My life-giving energy.

I need your ardor to rebirth

the cycles of creation,

My green celebration of Spring.

Arise, dancing. Renew the Earth.
