A Mother - The Best Blessing. When we are little children, all we want, is to be grown up. For adults seem to have it all, the fun, doing what they want, no rules and restrictions. That was our perspective then. And when we grew up and kept growing older, we were in for shock after shock. We wanted to run back into the innocence, and sweetness of childhood again. But with the pressures and stress of our lives, trying to survive and prevail in a world of conditioning, expectations and performance, we learnt to forget that beautiful part of our lives.
Our inner child craved attention, but we had to ignore it, till it stopped communicating with us. We didn’t realize that the Divine had not forgotten, that even as adults, we needed to be nurtured, loved, protected and given freedom and space to play, enjoy and heal from the wounds which were a part of daily life. The falling, failing, stumbling, and getting up and going on. For this he had blessed us with what we needed most. Our mother. Mother Earth, Mother Nature, the Divine Mother, who was ever there to protect and guide us.
Mother Earth, who gave us stability and held each step of ours as we walked. Giving us security, absorbing all our pain into her loving heart. Even as we carelessly trampled on her bosom, unaware and ignorant. Mother Nature, who blessed us with so much beauty and abundance. Our food, water, the air we breathed, the sun and rain. The flowers and trees. The mountains, rivers and oceans. Nurturing us all from the tiniest ant to the infinite skies and again here, we ignore, plunder and devastate.
Yet, like our mothers, they do not stop loving and nurturing us. Hoping that one day, maybe, we will realize and come back to love them back. To be in gratitude and appreciation for all they are and have been. Today, on Mother’s Day, let us honor the Divine Mother in every form, especially our birth mothers who have blessed us with life. Nurtured and cared for us, so often at their own expense. Smilingly, uncomplainingly. So be they here, or in heaven, they are our source and we owe it to them, to be grateful and become the best of who we are. Living a life of joy, peace, gratitude, love and kindness. Happy Mother’s Day to all. To all the amazing moms and their awesome children. A Mother - The Best Blessing.
