Parenting oneself---the creative process by means of each one of us---is
never-ending. So it is today on Mother's Day that we celebrate the part of us
that is the feminine face of God, because that is in fact the creative part of
thought, the thought process that puts whatever ideas we might have into form.
The idea from Stoicism known as _Amor Fati_ represents the [immense power of
learning to love our fate](https://dailystoic.com/amor-fati/). _Amor Fati_ is
to not only accept everything that life brings us---good or bad---but to love
it, to embrace it, and to revel in it. It has all come for us, so that we can
look at it and heal it, and not stay stuck.
Epictetus said, "Don't seek for everything to happen as you wish it would. But
rather, wish that everything happens as it actually will, and then your life
will be serene."
