Honoring the female part of the divine, from a refreshingly modern perspective.
Call Her Goddess―call her God the Mother―call her the Feminine Principle―Her children need Her, and our world deeply suffers the pains of Her absence. Through the warmth and the wit of poetry, this book is an invitation for all―women, men, of any religion or of no religion―to welcome Her home and set a permanent place for Her at the family table. Carol Lynn Pearson’s poetry is accessible, thoughtful, and thought-provoking―the perfect balance of wisdom, humility, and humor.
“Carol Lynn’s new book of poetry … is incredibly moving — Carol Lynn found a way to somehow simultaneously mourn and celebrate the way we interact with Heavenly Mother, both personally and in community. We found ourselves both laughing, crying, and everything in between as we read — and we can’t recommend the book highly enough.”
“In my house, we love speaking and thinking about Heavenly Mother, and incorporate thought and discussion of Her into our daily lives. So, Finding Mother is right down our alley. I enjoyed the piece incorporating Descartes into Mother’s love for us. I love the mentions of all of Her names, from Sophia, to Shekiniah, to the Venus of Willendorf. Pearson speaks of the fear of God not existing, of the Fear of not knowing if she resembles her Mother, and of the realizations that She does, indeed, exist and that we resemble Mother. These are all familiar to my own work and ponderings on paper, too, and are like hugs in print form.
If you, too, love poetry, are odd (but splendid), and love to think about the nature of our Parent Gods, this is a lovely addition to your bookshelf.”
“Injustice, suffering, and pain abound. The world needs healing. We NEED God the Mother in our world and lives, but she is nowhere to be found. Carol Lynn Pearson, beloved author and poetess has an offering to help us with this dilemma. Finding Mother God: Poems to Heal the World, is filled with meditations of sublime beauty on our Divine Mother. In its pages, you will read verses that will soothe your soul. You will find thoughts that will touch your heart. You will be taught ways to encounter the Divine Feminine. You will be challenged to be better. You will be encouraged to be more. And if you are a man and you sit down, shut up, humble yourself, and pay attention, you MAY just be given a glimpse of what women experience as they long to encounter and have a relationship with a Divine Being who resembles them.
Carol Lynn Pearson has been writing books as long as I have been alive, and I am not that young anymore! Each of her books has been a gift, and that is true of Finding Mother God: Poems to Heal the World. This last year has been rough, we are all on the beat up side, some more than others. The inhabitants of our blue-green orb have experienced and are experiencing loss, depression and anxiety, fear, sickness, and pain. We NEED the love, advice, and embrace of our Holy Mother God to heal our world. There is no need for us to live in a Motherless House any longer. Carol Lynn Pearson’s Finding Mother God: Poems to Heal the World will help you to discover the Living Mother God and will help you to find healing in Her embrace. I invite you to read and share a copy.”
“Oh, so many of these poems touch me, teach me, disturb me, comfort me, open vistas to me, I love so many of them and you for writing them. These are the crowning gifts of your talent and your life.”
