Today is Mother’s Day, and our mothers have been remarkable persons in their own right as well as because they had us. If you who are reading this are yourself a mother, then you have an exquisite relationship with another human being that no one not having had that privilege can fully comprehend. So we honor mothers. But there’s even more to it: an archetypal mothering aspect present in the Universe that can be drawn upon and used by anyone anywhere, and that shows up undefined by gender. Mother-love is nurturing, unconditional, and kindly yet fierce. If you don’t feel you had enough of that from the woman who birthed you, or long for more of it, it’s still there for in the “ethers” if you will open your self to accept it from woman, man , or both, or neither.
‘Mother/Father God’ or ‘Father/Mother God’ is an expression that some of us us because we feel the deity is androgynous. We don’t really consider it to be a being at all, but beingness itself, so It, having both male and female qualities, is a natural as either sunlit and moonlit qualities, or terrestrial and celestial ones. Deity is infinite and thus contains all. We may choose to have Its parent-like aspects stand out because these are particularly intimate and special to us in our human condition.
TODAY, and everyday, we can experience the nurturing and giving nature of the Universe we inhabit. From every direction, unconditional love and encouragement arrive, cheering us on to be fully who we are by glorifying that Indwelling God who is the Heavenly Father and the Cosmic Mother of all.
