Dear Mother

The foundational relationship for every human animal is the one held with its mother. Initial point of contact...lying in the womb for approximately 40 weeks more or less and then...the cataclysmic ride to the outside world. How we feel about our mothers is so important irrespective of how pleasant our actual relationship was/was not, is/ is not...so important to our own well being that at the foundation of our 'mother memory' should be a simple living remembrance of deep appreciation, profound reverance and respect for the inactment of the life we now own. If we can say nothing else good about our own mothers...we should stop with just a simple Thank You, Mother...Thank You...for Life.

Life is a messy business. If we have ever been blessed with seeing a birth...then, we should never lose sight of the miracle that it truly is. That someone would be willing to participate with our point of entrance in this way...commands respect, reverance and awe. Awe is missing in our 'mother memory' these days as we abuse our mothers with reflections that supercede the initial action of such a gift as Life...
