Mothers Day. When this day comes around it isn't all flowers and brunch and happy photos posted on social media for everyone….
for those who struggle to make it through this day, to be bombarded, like it or not, with the hallmark card-ification of this day…
for the motherless children….
for those that have a strained or nonexistent or volatile or painful relationship with a mother…
for those with mothers with mental illness, or addiction, those with scarred maternal line threads that stretch back through ages...
for those whose mothers have left the earth plane and the mothers who have lost a child and those women who long to be mothers but have not been able to have children… and those mothers struggling to feel maternal, struggling with postpartum, feeling guilty for not feeling how they are "supposed to" ...
for those women who do not want children and are constantly questioned about why not and made to feel that they are less of a woman because of this choice…
for the moms that have to be mother and father, and the dads who are father and mother...
I see you, I feel you, I cry with you, I honor you.
Blessed be the children of the Great Mother of All.

Jai Jai Maa
for the motherless children...
