Happy Mother's Day! (5.11.14)

Good Morning. Happy Sunday!

Happy Mother's Day to all of the Mothers out there, including our Mother Earth.

Mothers give us life and sustain us as we reach out to the world and become who we are meant to be. Our great Mother Earth holds us in her nurturing arms and supports us through everything we endure, providing food, shelter and other life forms for us to interact with. Pretty awesome and amazing.

If we, as humanity, could practice the same unconditional love and unwavering support to our own children, whether they are ours by birth or by proximity, it might be possible to see some of the pain of the world reduced. Everyone needs a mother. Everyone, at some point, needs to be taken care of, from the helpless infant state to periods of illness and general malaise, it helps if we have a mother figure in our lives to lend a loving hand when we need it.

Unfortunately, not everyone has a biological mother or mother figure in their lives. In some cases, mothers aren't able to give their time and love in ways that nurture others. It is what it is. There are plenty of nurturing women out there, and even some men, who are willing and able to give of themselves to others in a supportive and loving way-- unconditional love that does not depend on anything else, just the state of being.

Today, and this week, let us thank and spend time with the women who love us and nurture us, our mothers, and let's also acknowledge the nontraditional mother figures who have guided us in our lives, be they men (fathers, brothers, uncles and friends) or others (teachers, aunts, sisters, neighbors, friends) who have supported us in our times of need.

A mother can take any form, including the form of a mountain or a forest, and the greatest form of all, our Planet and our Universe.

Feel the love that surrounds you now, enveloping you in unconditional bliss and joy that is yours to experience. The Universe supports you in all things. This is one Mother that won't, and that can't ever let you down. When we look at at our experiences, we know that underneath everything that happens, there is a loving presence that never wavers. This is our Mother, our Source, our God.

Find within yourself that love, that ability to be kind and nurture other living beings and share it. Honor your Mothers and honor the Mother within.

Have a loving day.

Love to all.

Celebrate Mother Earth (4.20.14)

Good Morning. Happy Sunday!

Tuesday is Earth Day. That's a pretty big deal. We need to celebrate our Mother Earth, the planet that sustains us and gives us life, like we celebrate other holidays. If we could give equal weight to the honor of our Great Mother Nature, that we do to the memories of those who came before, we might remember that we are a part of this living thing, this whole organism, right now.

There is no need to look into the past, for the Earth is beneath our feet always--the sky above our heads in every single moment. We only have Now, and the life we are, the life around us, and the life we share.

Give thanks to Mother Earth, to Father Sky, and to all the spirits that we share this time and space with. Look around yourself and see that without this great planet, we are nothing, for we would not even exist, nor could we continue to live without Her sustenance.

Honor thy Mother. Celebrate her as she should be celebrated. Not just on Earth Day, but every single day. Remember She is a part of you, a part of us all. We are truly One. Without Her we would not be.

This season, help her to heal. Plant a tree. Grow your own food. Feel the soil in your hands and beneath your feet. Connect to your natural state.

Be kind to others, to yourself and to Mother Earth. Radiate love.

Love to all.
