Mother

‘Mother’ explores the shame, fear, and longing that a ‘son’ experiences in approaching his ‘Heavenly Mother.’ Along his journey the ‘son’ runs in fear from his ‘Heavenly Mother’, not understanding who she is, but when he allows ‘Her’ into his world he finds comfort and peace. The idea of a feminine God, or Heavenly Mother, is a belief long held by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). However, many members are faced with intense shame and fear when they attempt to approach Her, whether that be through prayer, or other forms of worship.
