I like the idea of mothering each other:))
Yep, mothers are people, too. And like Talya, I love the idea of mothering ourselves and each other.
Very powerful.
I have learned this as my mother has gotten older. Mothering myself has become a valuable skill and I’m glad I’ve learned it.
It really is a skill, too.
Yes! We do need to mother ourselves. We tend to forget that.
No one teaches us that we can do it.
Carol, you are so right, your words so complement what I had to say today on the blog hop!
Loved this “We can also mother our mothers,
and that’s got to be a revelation.
And we can mother the world.”
It’s such an important concept, mothering, and broader than our usual definition.
I have been nurtured by my female friends all of my adult life.
And isn’t it a gift? Me, too.
‘…mother is a child too…” so true, and so easy to forget
We do. And now we’re the age some of our moms were when they needed mothering, themselves. Wish I’d realized it then.
Loved the poem and the idea of mothering each other.
I used to hate Mother’s Day–first because I didn’t have kids. Then after my father died my mother (who had always called it a Hallmark holiday) insisted we “celebrate” it. Then because I felt guilty I had to be dragged feet first to Mother’s Day events.
I don’t have kids, either. And when my mother died, for a long time the day kind of pinged for me because I had no one to buy a frilly card for. I’m good now. Now it’s just all the mommy blog posts that I totally can’t relate to most of the time.
Thanks for the gentle invitation to be more caring of the self and of others. Love and light to you.
