It's a Real Mother 4 U

Yes, it's that day. It is hot Mama Day!

Think about it. We are the stuff of stars. And we pass on that celestial greatness to the future. We are connected to the very first of us. Let us thank --

 the ancestors; those who came before.


Who climbed from out of the primordial ooze; who put their lives on the line to bear us; who hold up half the sky. The passing on of DNA, values, secrets, traditions, mythology and memory.


And let us not limit ourselves to those who give birth (though that is not without a nod of acknowledgment and a debt of awestruck gratitude). All honor and props to those who nurture the next generations. To the people who teach, comfort, feed, amuse, delight, and educate. The women -- and men -- who lead, live, and inculcate life lessons.


To all the Real Mothers out there -- of all ages, sexes, inclinations, and lifestyles -- it's your day, your way.

Mothers -- you are delicious, delightful, and part and parcel with the Divine.

You rock!
