Mother Corn, hear your children.
Mother Corn, open the way.
Mother Corn, let us touch you.
Mother Corn, hear your children.
Mother Corn, open the way.
Mother Corn, we pray to you.
Mother Corn, open the way.
-Pawnee ceremonial prayer
Around us, plants are setting seed, preparing for the new generations that will follow this fruitful summer. Within each of us, too, things are ripening: ideas, insights, intuitions. At any given time, some parts of our search will be progressing toward conclusion, while others are burgeoning. We are not single, unified selves, but a multiplicity of many selves. We may be emotionally opening up, for instance, while intellectually we are stagnant. Or we may be growing into greater ripeness in terms of sexuality, while our ambition is on hold. We must attend to what is ripen-ing, but also to what is still growing and what needs to be harvested. What, in you, stands near to ripeness now?
