Motherhood is a spirit. It is the living, breathing spirit that connects every mother in an unbroken chain back to mitochondrial Eve, the mother of humanity. From the moment a woman desires a baby, she begins to tap into the spirit of Motherhood. She becomes animated by it. Possessed by it. Activated by it. Shaped and molded by it. To treat motherhood as a spiritual practice is to build a relationship with that spirit. Not to worship motherhood, But to cocreate with it.
