Mother: The Eternal Spirit of Love and Grace
Mothers day is just around the corner and as I think about the magnitude of the word 'mother' i am reminded of a classic and universally cherished quote about mothers : "A mother is your first friend, your best friend, your forever friend." This simple yet powerful statement encapsulates the enduring nature of a mother's love and the unique bond she shares with her child.
The unconditional love that a mother feels for her child as she gives of herself in so many ways, never hesitating to give her love, energy, and support to her children.
On Mothers day a big Salute to all of the women who take on the role with such strength, selflessness, and grace.
Someone wise said:
"When you look at your mother, you are looking at the purest love you will ever know."
"Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever."
Produced below is an excerpt from The Broken Wings by Kahlil Gibran, discovered in the anthology of his work called The Voice of Kahlil Gibran, translated by A.R. Ferris.
Mother by Kahlil Gibran!
The most beautiful word on the lips of mankind is the word “Mother,” and the most beautiful call is the call of “My mother.”
It is a word full of hope and love, a sweet and kind word coming from the depths of the heart.
The mother is everything.
She is our consolation in sorrow, our hope in misery, and our strength in weakness.
She is the source of love, mercy, sympathy, and forgiveness..
Everything in nature bespeaks the mother.
Kahlil Gibran
The sun is the mother of Earth and gives it its nourishment of heart; it never leaves the universe at night until it has put the Earth to sleep to the song of the sea and the hymn of birds and brooks.
And this earth is the mother of trees and flowers.
It produces them, nurses them, and weans them.
The trees and flowers become kind mothers of their great fruits and seeds.
And the mother, the prototype of all existence, is the eternal spirit, full of beauty and love.
