I always enjoyed God as He,
Father, Dad;
a relationship of strength
and intimacy.
Not wrong, but perhaps
incomplete.

I have been exploring God as She,
Mother, Ma;
a different kind of intimacy
and strength.

The Aramaic word translated ‘Father’
that Jesus would have used
is Abwoon,
Father-womb,
encompassing father and mother
but more of a verb than a noun,
parenting,
our on-going flowing
from our divine source.
