Mothers Day. Spring equinox 2012. . March 20 th.
However far away from its origins the celebration has migrated, Mother’s Day is still much more than just a “Hallmark® holiday”. And certainly more than remembering to send a card and flowers as Mothers Day gifts, or in this mothers case, an email or loving text. More, even, than expressing gratitude for the instrument by which you came to be.
It is an opportunity to recognize that we are part of something timeless and universal, that we are all sons and daughters of this magnificent and abundant mother earth, connected, with the same blood flowing in our veins, and the same needs and desires calling out to our hearts. It is about honoring each other, and seeking the spark of Divinity which resides in each and every one of us, and remembering not least, our amazing Mums, whose love, though never perfect, sustained us with constancy.
So my darlings, forget the cards, (though thank you for some gorgeous ones in the past which I keep still and treasure) and just take pause to appreciate the triumph and ferocity of motherhood that lies beneath the holiday’s commercial surface.. Thank you, all women who take the path of Motherhood, for it is us who know the pain, and the miracle.
Lots of love,
Linda.
