Apocryphote of the Day: 4-1-08

It is I who am the part of my mother.
It is I who am the mother.
It is I who am the wife.
It is I who am the virgin.
It is I who am pregnant.
It is I who am the midwife.
It is I who am the one that comforts pains of travail.
It is my husband who bore me.
It is I who am his mother.
It is he who is my father and my lord.
It is he who is my force.
What he desires, he says with reason.
I am in the process of becoming.
Yet I have borne a man as lord.
