The womb

"The part of a woman that men can touch, but never own, can desire but not control;the womb" This quote speaks of a physical womb, but I believe has much to say for our spiritual state. When I think of the attributes of a woman I think of life, creativity, imagination, long suffering, and beauty. All things are adjectives for reproductive organs in the female form. Man can be attributed for strength, support, order, discipline, or the completion of a desire or goal. When we think of God , we often use male attributes to describe Him or understand Him. Yet we as mere mortals (man) cannot be overcome by mystery and majesty lest we acknowledge His very feminine qualities. How much more magnificent for human kind when the barrier of infertility of the human race was removed( the veil in the temple) and mankind was extended the invitation to eternal life, the ultimate consumation of a relationship? More on this thought to follow........
