Mother's Day

Sometimes, I wish my kids came with operating manuals. It's mother's day and i wish i could write something in the vein of Erma Bombeck, and make everyone laugh at life's obsurdities. Especially the kids.

How easy it is for me to forget what's it's like to be a kid... Then, I wouldn't feel the need to have an operating manual for mine!

Mothers Day is much like every other holiday, too - loaded with expectations and hallmark-ish societal 'norms'. Luckily, my kids won't go for that. It's always interesting, too. My reactions to the day's chaotic events are much less than "motherly". Even after studying divine mothers, divine feminine, and tapping into Quan Yin, Mary, and other notable archetypal feminine energies, i find myself in the less than enviable position of being more like a truck driver without the wheels. Oh well...as I once said - these are the best zen masters i will ever have. I hope i learn before they grow up!
