Have you ever noticed that the bond between a mother and child can be very strong and loving? It is a bond like no other.
Mothers comfort their children when they are anxious, calm their fears, kiss their wounds, and reassure them they are loved. A counted cross-stich that I completed for my Mom sums it up nicely: "A mother is someone who can take the place of all others, but whose place noone else can take." Today, we give thanks, and show our appreciation for a mother's love.
The loving moments we shared with our moms can also be used to heal ourselves today. When we feel anxious, fearful, or wounded, we can imagine ourselves wrapping these negative thoughts into a bundle. When we imagine holding the bundle in our arms and sending it our love, we suddenly feel lighter. Carrying the bundle is no longer necessary, as light floods into the space that was once a bundle of temporary darkness.
Hugs, love, and light--tc
