Happy Mother’s Day!!

I’ve always loved this little poem: 

Who ran to help me when I fell,

 And would some pretty story tell,

Or kiss the place to make it well?

My mother.   —Jane Taylor (1783–1824)

Although it’s so simple, to me it captures the spirit of nurturing that defines what a mother is— including the many visions we have of her:

Mother Mary —

Mother Earth —

Green Tara —

Mom’s by artists — this one by Gustav Klimpt

I love this image by the artist Tarbell —

And this beautiful photo of a newborn in Africa —

And of course there’s always Mother Goose! —

Have a lovely Mother’s Day — where ever you may be — perhaps all women who nurture and care for any living thing are mothers in their own way — and deserve an extra special day!
