With each passing year I grow to appreciate both my mother and grandmother more and more for the gift of my life and for the struggles they've endured and outlived. God/dess willing my grandmother will be 101 in June and my mother will be 77 at the end of this month. A friend who is like a second mother to me will be 94 in August. Pretty amazing, all things considered. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Katlin)Tue, 15 May 2012 14:43:39 +0000 commemorationhttps://bdelectablemnts.runboard.com/p12505,from=rss#post12505https://bdelectablemnts.runboard.com/p12505,from=rss#post12505Mother and Child Meditation   Think back to the bond between Mother and Child Do you imagine it broken by internal jealousies, shyness against intimacy, cringing before angry gods of social culture, dying of a thousand casual wounds volleys of will and grievance cast into fragile frays? Or do you see a pageantry of unfailing matriarchs, strong sons and daughters in gay attendance, flowers growing from every slip of finery into fecund mud? Mothers of our species tend to be adaptable to changing challenge of balance, trying out touted trends, begging for guidance when their own upbringing doesn't fit today's terror and tantalization. Always someone must be blamed; sentiments must be appeased. Where is the ease, the joy, the sharing up and down of familial care and comfort? Where is that not Commanded? A child is a gift to the future; a mother is a gift of long heritage, nature and nurture. Each is also all imaginable possibilities. Each is a present day.     May 11, 2012 nondisclosed_email@example.com (libramoon)Sun, 13 May 2012 20:16:04 +0000
