"Archaic little female figures unearthed all over the world;
Reveal the complex spiritual nature of the early matrilineal societies.
These ladies, have in common, a significant beauty;
For with striking similarity the small clay fertility females
Of early civilizations in The Indus valley,
Mesopotamia, Palestine, Southeast Asia or Ancestral Pueblo.
Mark the path back to the source, the beginning…
To our DNA ancestress,
The mitochondrial Mother gave our hereditary patterns in genetic seeds
That are contained in the roots of a gestational world culture, indicating
The imprint of our human species is,
As are all metaphors for the planet, female."
