It is said that a woman is the personification of the Moon because the moon’s life cycle corresponds to the cycle of the woman. Although I understand this, I am conflicted. I tend to think the woman is the personification of the Sun. No life exist without the Sun. The sun has the power of life and death. Without it there is no life. It is the source of all growing things. All living things worship it and move in accordance to its abundant power.

Hence, MOTHERS…. Today is the day we celebrate you, but it is really insignificant as compared to your contributions. For us who know, you are celebrated every living day because without you, there is no life.. there is no love.. there is no joy.. there is no empathy.. there is no spirit. And for us who know, we love you for it and uplift you because of it.

Happy Mother’s Day, 💌 2021.
