Spirit Mothers on Mother's Day

This message is for women out there who don't have children, like me. I want to wish You / us, a Happy Mother's Day and here is why... 

• You have a brought at least one smile to a child's face. 
• You have taken care of someone's child when they needed a break.
• You have conceived of and birthed ideas that will change the life of a child... even change the world. 
• You work to make the world a better place for everyone.
• You need not be blood related to be a Mother to someone ... 
• You have pets and they mean the world to you.
• You tend to a garden that nourishes love and inspiration, and that brings joy to what can seem like a hopeless world. 
• You are important to this world and you will inspire at least one young person, maybe more, if you have not already done so. 
• There are a few people who will say things like "You weren't / aren't ready" or "You aren't lucky enough" or "You will never know"... it's ok ... and we must bite our lip because it's possible they do not know that there is a sacrifice being made to move humanity into a new paradigm... where we need not to always be procreating... our world requires us now to become ONE family co-creating.  

As the saying goes... it takes a village! Thank you to all of the Spirit Mama's out there making a difference! I see YOU! I hear YOU!

We Have A Beautiful Mother

We have a beautiful
mother
Her hills
are buffaloes
Her buffaloes
hills.

We have a beautiful
mother
Her oceans
are wombs
Her wombs
oceans.

We have a beautiful
mother
Her teeth
the white stones
at the edge
of the water
the summer
grasses
her plentiful
hair.

We have a beautiful
mother
Her green lap
immense
Her brown embrace
eternal
Her blue body
everything we know.
