The Father and Mother

The Creator/ God was Mother and Father to all living things. Therefore, we must respect all life that came forth from the Creator/ God. The women are the mothers of all peoples. From them all life is brought forth. Therefore, all women must be treated with respect and reverence for their sacred position as life bearers among their people. If not for women's place in the Creation, life would not be brought forth from the Creator/ God. This is Sacred/ Holy. When men and women come together and have children, they are performing a sacred act that reminds us that, though none of us is equal to the Creator/ God, when we come together we show through our love for one an other that we are truly the children of our Father/ Mother The Creator/ God. -Dave
