Today We Honor All the Mamas and Mama Mama

Today we honor all the mamas and mama mama with some poetry and a recording of the Sri Lalita Sahasranama (1000 Names of Divine Mother). May you and all the Mothers in your life be blessed!


We have a beautiful 
mother
Her hills
are buffaloes
Her buffaloes
hills.

We have a beautiful
mother
Her oceans
are wombs
Her wombs
oceans.

We have a beautiful
mother
Her teeth
the white stones
at the edge
of the water
the summer
grasses
her plentiful
hair.

We have a beautiful
mother
Her green lap
immense
Her brown embrace
eternal
Her blue body
everything we know.


--Alice Walker.
