The Call of Mother Earth: How a Being of Light Draws Forth Humanity's Response
Until now, if we have been learning about the threats to our precious Earthmother, our depleted soil, shrinking rainforest, melting icecaps, polluted waterways, our increasingly warming climate, we have been scaring ourselves and perhaps feeling powerless. Now is the time to inspire ourselves and extol the sacred beauties and capacities of Mother Nature and in so doing, lift ourselves to a vast vision and actions that can heal and replenish Her as well as heal and restore us all. May this verse narrative inspire ecological-minded activism and reverence for all life, and even be turned into song, dance, or drama!
Ninsun: Wise Mother of Gilgamesh
This dramatic verse is a riveting sequel to the ancient Sumerian epic of Gilgamesh. As king of Uruq, Gilgamesh comes to realize that it was his own hubris which precipitated the death of his best and only friend, Enkidu, whom his wise mother had predicted he would meet. After having lost the elixir of immortality he had journeyed so far to obtain, in Ninsun, he returns to his kingdom, bedraggled and unrecognizable, but in need of his mother. How did she become so wise? At his request, she recounts to him the story of her own daring choices and unusual destiny, one which transforms her son into a new kind of leader, humble, kind and self-reflective, with a deep positive regard and love for his mother. Ninsun's story tells how she faced extreme adversity with divine magnificence, wisdom, and strength, offering a model for us all in our own challenging times.
