Many
deep contemporary thinkers believe that humanity's last, best
chance for survival in the 21st century is the emergence or re-emergence
of the Feminine which is the nurturing intuitive, creative and
spiritual essence within all of us- male or female- soldier or
lover.
Generally women
but especially mothers possess these qualities.
While all of
us on this planet may not be mothers we all have or had mothers
and surely we can all nurture motherly qualities within us. A
genius psychiatrist and my friend, Dr. John Diamond taught me
the central importance of reconnecting with the love of our mother
as the essential prerequisite to mental health, happiness or even
achieving bliss.
Surely you
ask but there are bad mothers who harm their children physically,
emotionally and/or spiritually?
Yet,
on some deep level we all yearn and need to love our mother —we
hunger for their loving smile, their touch, their warmth and their
songs. By hungering for these qualities we have the opportunity
to re-connect to them and to the unconditional and infinite love
of a God- the mother of us all. Read John Diamond's poem in the
poems section of this website. I believe Diamond's piece could
save humanity.
My LOVE YOUR
MOTHER PROJECT suggests the following:
That
you share with
others on this website:
- send in your
statements as to why you love your mother
- send in your stories about your mother
- send in your letters and poems about her
- send in greeting cards, songs, poems by others that best express
your views about you mother
- send in statements about the qualities that you see within yourself
that most remind you of your mother
Let it be declared
that in the United States that Mothers Day, the second Sunday
in the month of May is designated as the most important holiday
(holi-day) of the calendar year. Each year on Mothers day we will
assemble the best LOVE YOUR MOTHER offerings and forward to as
many world leaders as we can possibly find-especially to those
nations who continue to treat women with disrespect or worse.
Through
the LOVE YOUR MOTHER project we will work toward maximizing motherly
qualities within each of us. It can save us! It may be our last
best chance.
