To Mother Figures Everywhere: Happy Mother's Day!



Carefree Woman

 

To My Mother Edgar Allan Poe (1849) Because I feel that, in the Heavens above, The angels, whispering to one another, Can find, among their burning terms of love, None so devotional as that of “Mother,” Therefore by that dear name I long have called you— You who are more than mother unto me, And fill my heart of hearts, where Death installed you, In setting my Virginia’s spirit free. My mother—my own mother, who died early, Was but the mother of myself; but you Are mother to the one I loved so dearly, And thus are dearer than the mother I knew By that infinity with which my wife Was dearer to my soul than its soul-life.



 To mother figures everywhere, I bid you a Happy Mother's Day.

 

 

 



 

 

Happy International Women's Day!

Mother's Special Package

"Where there is woman there is magic." ~Ntozake Shange

Today is International Women's Day and I am here celebrating the magic that lies within each feminine existence on the planet. We are the creators. We are the caregivers. We are the leaders. We are the teachers. We are the students. We are the daughters. We are the sisters. We are the mothers. We are the aunts. We are the nieces. We are the lovers. We are the friends. We are the soft whispers caressing babies. We are the loud booms voicing the need for change. We are the rhythmic dances. We are the steady beat of nations. We are the embodiment of God. We are the expression of beauty in joy, in pain, in sadness, and in love.We are who we are and how we choose to be here on Earth. We are WOMEN.
