Reflections on Mother’s Day

I thought I would share some personal reflections.

I commenced today with a beautiful and thoughtful greeting card from my two adult children, followed by a breakfast of croissants and coffee. A couple of hours further into the day, I was strongly impressed to similarly acknowledge my gratitude to my late mother, Marsha and her mother via a dedicated mindfulness meditation practice. As my meditation proceeded, there was a natural inner evolution to be inclusive of my whole ancestry. As I sat quietly within reverence, warmth of inner and outer compassion flowed throughout my being towards all- everyone was my family.

Unexpectedly my dedication to my late mother stirred a memory of compassion to all. Upon completion my entire being felt connected, warm, light and expansive, which I intellectually know nourishes and balances my entire being.

May we all remember to live the compassion shown to us by our mothers and in so doing offer a rebalancing of all relationships around us. Happy Mother’s Day everyone.
