I think I see what he was driving at - not the first time this has been attempted, but it has been done with more grace.

St. Julian of Norwich said something similar -

"Just as God is our Father, so God is also our Mother.
And He showed me this truth in all things, but especially in those sweet words when He says: 'It is I'.
As if to say, I am the power and the Goodness of the Father, I am the Wisdom of the Mother, I am the Light and the Grace which is blessed love, I am the Trinity, I am the Unity, I am the supreme Goodness of all kind of things, I am the One who makes you love, I am the One who makes you desire, I am the never-ending fulfilment of all true desires...."

You said it better than I could.
It’s hard to explain. Some spiritual concepts go beyond our secular terminology.

A heretical conclusion. God reveals Himself as The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

There is no Mother God - except in paganism.
