Walking home from a short trip around my neighborhood, I noticed the church message board: Mothering God, Thank you for life. I loved that...designating the quality of mothering to the Divine-which-is-all-things. My mother was fierce and strict, holding our wildness in check, teaching us discipline, making sure we had piano lessons (thank you, Mom), making sure we brushed our teeth, helped out around the place with assigned chores...all that and more. There was no doubt that I was mothered. As a result, I, too, am able to mother the Other...to move beyond myself in order to care for another. I stopped my walk to talk with the 5-year-olds in the preschool. We talked about so many things: fire, and electricity, and music, and how things all had to be invented along the way. I waved farewell and headed for home. I felt I had let the mothering god come through me, and it came back through the open minds of the children. Join us this Sunday for The Mothers' Way...love through songs, full and fierce and free. 3pmPT/6pmET over on my Facebook Music Page. facebook.com/criswilliamsonmusic
