MOTHER'S DAY

Traditionally, today is known as Good Shepherd Sunday because of the shepherd and the sheep who hear his voice.  Of course, it is also Mother’s Day – a day when we also celebrate our shepherds who have sheep who don’t always hear their voice!

It is a day when I always feel little awkward trying to reflect on the experience of motherhood.  The sanctity of the relationship between a mother and child gives me pause and leaves me humbled.  I don’t know if I could ever have enough courage to allow my soul to live inside another person, but as far as I can tell, that is often what mothers do. 

Thus, I want to share a story I read from the book "Untie the Strong Woman" by Clarissa Pinkola Estes.
