In both science and myth the ocean is the mother of us all; if mountains are the Earth's expression of jutting maleness, the ocean with its frictionless surface and black depths is her expression of female receptiveness. But the lions gate Goddess, as quite a few New Agers fail to grok, is not just the comforting image of "Mother Nature." The Goddess is triune; she is the Mother, true, but she is also the fecund and tempting Virgin. And sometimes she is an earthquake, lions gate tornado, and hurricane-throwing bitch. For the patriarchal religion that inspired Yeats, the Goddess herself could very well lions gate be that rough beast come to undo all our fine works. And less than a week ago she slouched ashore with a great splash and whooshing noise and gave us humans another lesson in humility -- a lesson we seem to need frequently, because we never seem to learn it. The Beast has now swatted me twice, and I will not test its patience again.
