SWOP homepageHappy Mothers Day SWOPistas!!
In honor of Mothers Day, which is Sunday, I would like to recognize a few of the Mamaistas;Emma, Jo Ann, Sandra, Tomasita, Beneshi, Lolita, Victoria, Maria Elena, Ilsa, the love of my life Casandra, also, the Mother of SWOP, Jeanne Gauna and all the Mothers that I failed to mention.
Thank you for your Patience, Wisdom, and Love that you bring to our families. Without our Mothers we would not be able to conceive the idea of Community nor have the means to acheive it.
Again, thank you and below is a perfect poem for the occasion of Mothers Day, from Mothering Magazine;
Circle of Womanhood
Waiting here I feel nothing.
Why does this comfort me?
We are so raw and vulnerable.
I find myself raw and vulnerable.
I feel tendered by by the vibrancy of her stories.
The way her eyes light up and the tears swell.
What a gift to be a woman!
What a gift to hear her stories!
I feel awakened by her sorrows and enlightened by her joy.
We are entering into a beautiful circle.
We are in the Circle of Womanhood.
I have seen the secrets in her eyes.
What a gift to be a woman!
How real, how strong, how opening.
The very definition of empowerment, the very experience of humility.
A tear, a woman, a mother, a story.
A circle of womanhood.
I find myself raw and vulnerable.
I feel tendered by by the vibrancy of her stories.
The way her eyes light up and the tears swell.
What a gift to be a woman!
What a gift to hear her stories!
I feel awakened by her sorrows and enlightened by her joy.
We are entering into a beautiful circle.
We are in the Circle of Womanhood.
I have seen the secrets in her eyes.
What a gift to be a woman!
How real, how strong, how opening.
The very definition of empowerment, the very experience of humility.
A tear, a woman, a mother, a story.
A circle of womanhood.
