She was of the stars

until the day she fell to earth.

Pachamama scooped up the Star Child

and cradled her as if she was her own.

Pachamama loved her dearly.

She bathed her Star Child in warm sunshine

and fed her succulent fruits off her trees.

Pachamama taught the Star Child

the richness of the land,

the structures of the wind,

the vibrations of the water,

the prophecy of the fire.

As Star Child grew, she walked the land

for millions of years

mapping the grids,

building the pyramids,

igniting the primal fires,

and crystallizing sacred sites.

She learned every crevice of the mountains,

swam the depths of the oceans with dolphins & whales,

and she spoke to the trees and the animals.

All throughout her travels,

Pachamama supported her.

Star Child cherished mother.

Every night Star Child gazed toward the sky

and floated an intention

back to the place from which she came,

“I will embody my diamond light.

I embrace my I AM presence.

My heart beats with the song of the earth,

my soul lives among the stars.”

Then, on the last night

as Star Child looked toward the sky,

Pachumama came and sat beside her.

“It is time for you to return to the sky, dear child.

Know that you will never be forgotten.

the land will hold your spirit,

the wind will speak your name,

the water will carry you compassion,

the fire will dance with the joy of your existence.

Return home, sweet child, your work here is done.”

Every star that shines in the night sky

is a child of Pachumama, shining their

eternal love back to her.
