Mondays Offering...Mother Mother

This is a very special gift

That you can never see,

The reason it's so special is

It's just for you from me

When ever you are lonely

Or are ever feeling blue

You only have to hold this gift

And know I'm hugging you

you never can unwrap it

Please leave the ribbon tied

Just hold the box close to your heart

It's filled with hugs inside

Happy Mother's Day to you my lovelies

You who grace me with your presence here

Those of you who share your wise words

You who walk with me

journeying through this life 

figuring it out as we go along

This offering is for all my lovelies

even those who have no children 

in the traditional sense

I believe in each of us

there is a mother

as the world is in need of many kinds

we nurture

we create

we open our hearts

we give generously

we are an amazing being...

The word Mother encompasses much for me...

I had a mother who birthed me

Another mother who raised me

Another mother who mentored me

and two mothers who became my mothers 

when they became grandmothers to my two boys

Each of them offer something different

Each mirroring something different back to me

The thing about Mothers...what ever type you are

is they still seem to miss the most important thing

Mothering themselves

a Sister of mine posted about it

here

Taking time for ourselves

still for many of you

 somehow seems indulgent

and maybe 

even wrong

Even when I posted about my sadness yesterday

there was a twinge of uncertainty

but I don't live there anymore

worrying about right or wrong

I am more concerned

about living a whole, real life

and in my life 

sadness sometimes comes to visit.

My point is, my lovelies

Mother you

take care of you

nurture you

create for you

open your heart to you

be generous to you

when we do this for ourselves

we are able to do these things for others 

in an even fuller way!

This is my offering to you today

oh

along with a little number from the past

just for fun

Love and Light
