Honoring Mother

How do mothers wish to be honored?

If honor comes only from my mouth that is not much of an honor

I can’t pretend that I have the answer for you

We are all different in our magic, in what we have to give

We are different in the actions that we make (please don’t shoot my children, my children are hungry, my father is sick, my neighbor is sleeping on the sidewalk,my family member is having a mental health crisis,water is life, listen to the earth,listen to what is calling, community building, dismantling racism and the patriarchy, what is your way, your magic, I see you

Sometimes I am hanging on my mother’s skirt

Sometimes I am holding her hand as I walk

Sometimes I forget she is in me and I in her

What action am I doing? What am I feeling in my heart?

Honoring takes mind,body and heart

I listen, I learn, I follow, and I lead

I have many mothers

Great and grand

I receive your blessings

I am walking compost

What am I fertilizing as I propel myself around this planet?

How are we/I honoring our Mother?
