This
weekend have visited my mum. It is a two hour trip, so I don't see her as often
as I would like. I like being with her, She tells a lot of stories from our
past. Most of them I already know. But now and again I hear something that is
new to me. It is like finding a little treasure. She is a very detailed storyteller
and so her tales become vivid and expressive. All I have to do is sit with her,
drinking coffee and listen…
My mum
has had this beautiful little statue on
her mantelpiece for years. It is a statue of a father and a mother and their
child. You could also see it as Joseph and Mary and Jesus, or as the Divine in
its Father and Mother form, where I could be their nurtured protected child. It
has multiple meanings for me and I've always loved it. I think that was
noticed by my mum, because this weekend she gave it to me and now it has a place
in my windowsill.
It was
in many ways a wonderful weekend

That is so beautiful! I love that.
ReplyDeleteI also love my mom's mother figures and goddess figures. They speak of both family and also a kind of holy female power...earthy but strong.
Sending you goodness,
MM
Thank you MM for your kind words. This little statue brings a lot of loving energy in my house
DeleteWhat a beautiful gift! And how nice for you to have your mum tell you stories. I can imagine the two of you having such a nice time over coffee. My mom lives just a half mile down the road, so I'm able to stop by for coffee often, which makes it easy to take for granted.
ReplyDeleteI used to live nearby my parents, but due to my husbands work we had to move to an other province. I still miss it to walk over for a cup of coffee. You are so blessed to nearby your mom
DeleteHow wonderful to have some special time with your mum, and what a lovely gift, too! My mum is at least in the same city, though she travels so much sometimes it doesn't seem that way. Still, I love when we get time to talk, she's a fascinating person :) It's a blessing to have an interesting and loving mother in our lives!
ReplyDeleteYes it is! I admit I take it sometimes for granted. So it's good to acknowledge our loving relationship.
