Listen to these words honoring mothers, all mothers over time and history, in honor of Mother's Day 2023.
Consider this a meditation on the concept of mothering: one you can sit quietly with, or one to consider thoughtfully as you practice mindfulness through everyday action, experiencing all that you notice and observe, all that arises inside you as you listen.

Much appreciation to MJ and her little cousin, to Shobini, Jodie, Rocky, Shaherose, Clement, the friendly student outside the local high school, Shara, Mattea, Meike, Sophie, Cynthia, and the Hungarian gentleman in a favorite coffee shop who wept as he thought of his mother. Thank you for sharing your languages, your voices, and your support.
To Everett, for your heartfelt reading of Langston Hughes' memorable poem, and to Carolyn, for stepping out from the Temple of Hercules in Amman, Jordan, to record and share the Mother's Day Proclamation you inspired me with last year: boundless thanks.
