Happy Mother's Day!

Posted on May 11th, 2008 by Goddess2day   : Poet, Philosopher, Writer, Wannabe. Goddess2day
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for May 11, 2008:

On my mother!  One thing for sure, no matter how tall I grow, I know I'll always be my Momma's baby. 

Of all her talents and features and accomplishments, one technique of hers stands out.  Her "mothering" capabilities.  She's the closest thing to a universal mother I know...full of compassion and caring and unconditional love...for each and every soul...

And this is what I've learned from her:-   To love the entire world of children unconditionally.  And by children, I mean old and young, whether you are one week old or 99 years old.  All are my children.  All were somebody's baby at some point.  All need love and sunshine to thrive and grow...  so this is my mission, to be like the sun and touch all that comes in my path with love and motherly sunshine.

Thanks, Mom.   Here is to you.  On your next birth, may other souls be lucky enough to be born in your heart and home.  

 

Heart of my Universe


Amy I. Ramdass

A fragrant flower as soft as down

She is a breath of fresh air in my town

The keeper of stars for my nights

She is my sun burning all day bright


My seat is a pedestal high above

Created by her unconditional love

On shopping sprees and scraped knees

Through thick or thin, she is there for me


She loves all children equally

She fills our hearts with excess glee

Daily her love continues to grow

She is the most unselfish person I know


Gardening is one of her passions

She treats nature with soft compassion

I feel like a princess in her presence

She gives my world its luminescence


Heart of my universe; she is so divine

No mother is greater than mine

Scour the earth, sail the seven seas

There is no other with her expertise

Thanks Nicole.  You're absolutely wonderful.  Hope you know that.

Hey there Mouse. Sure glad to see you here.    And oh my…I so agree with u.  Mothers are the most powerful influence in anyone's life.  !!!    

Mothers old and new tend to condition their children's mind so very thoroughly…sometimes harldy leaving room for the growth of new things.. .(for our own survival perhaps…they are afraid weeds will take over :(          Oh, the error of our ways…when we don't allow weeds to grow, weeds not only take over, they become immortal…:(    And many times when we treat plants we don't like as  weeds, we discover that this very same weed is the most valuable plant ever.  Sigh.

Well…enough of my ramble, shamble…may unconditional love unscramble…

Hmm….yes….it seems without unselfish love, selfish love cannot exist…so I agree with our Nicole…she's a great example of unconditional love, imho…

So here is to you, Mouse.  May you have plenty of unconditional love. 

Love you both.

Amy :-)

I would like to blog about unconditional AND highly conditional love, but it will take tones that are critical of both women and men. Afraid, as these were the writings that gaia team used to explain away the real reasons I was deleted.

Love your writing on motherly love and you definitely revealed the power of unconditional love. It is wonderful that your children can experience that in you and I am sure they are happy to have a cool mom that is not a victim of super-ego.

Such a delight to see you guys here again. 

Really now, Mouse. That deletion biz.  Bet someone mistook you for a weed…and *pluck*  but you grew back…stronger…and what a lovely bloom you are to some of us.  Especially me :-))  Seriously.  

And as for unconditional love, if I had a case that it  doesn't exist, I'd arrest it after I read Nicole's comment about her standing by you if anyone tries to delete you.  

So dear Mouse, I would love to hear your take on “highly conditional love” as well.  It's a very interesting topic for me.   So blog away anytime.  I promise I won't be offended especially if you wrap it all in some bitter-sweet humor…  Great style.  Love it.


Thanks, Jag. That's such a nice thing to say!   

And hey!!   think I've a super-ego.  I mean it's as large as the moon so that's super right?   Lol.  Thanks again.

Amy :-)
