Blessed are You, O Creator-for having made me a Woman.
 In the intimate darkness of my mother's womb-

You knew me and called me good.
 Keeper of time-maker of seasons- 

You journey with me through each Turning:
 in my birthing-You are there
 in my growing-You are there
 in my bleeding-You are there
 in my bearing-You are there
 in my deepening-You are there
 in my returning-You are there.
 
 Bless these sacred seasons, O Creator,
 that each turning may bring me into Wisdom's arms.
