HAPPY MOTHERING DAY

Dear Great Hearted One,

This day we honor and celebrate
the women who have given life to us,
the women who give life to ideas,
the women who died giving life,
the women who wanted to have a child,
but didn’t get to,
the women who right now
are tilling their fertile soil for new seed,
the women who choose not to have a child
but have many children,
the women who are in captivity,
the women who are free,
those who were mothered well,
and those who had crazy mamas,
because any mama that did not love you well,
was not well enough,
the women who are struggling
this moment to care for their babies,
and the women who right now
snuggle with little ones under
feather comforters,
for those whose mamas have gone on,
and for those who are mamas to be,
for women who miscarried precious life,
and those who carried many lives,
for single mamas who want their mate,
and for married mamas who want to be seen and heard,
for those who never got to have a mama hold them,
and for those mama’s whose children
will not speak to them.

A Blessings for happy mamas and sad mamas

and all the ones in between,

especially those in need of rest

and to speak their own voices.

To Mama earth and all her childen.
With Gratitude to the Great Mama of all,

and most of all…

for all women who need re-mothering,
we unite in our love for you and your
quest for wholeness, connection, belonging and home.

All women today, we honor.
All life today, we celebrate on Mama Day.

Blessed Mother of life, hear the prayers
of your children this day.

Open our hearts to hear
that which you are speaking to us and through us.
