Mother's day musings

Today I'm celebrating The Great Mother - the pulse within every living thing from mighty trees to the humble bumble bee. I'm also honouring my own mother, my feminine lineage and my journey as a mother - but I'm very aware that Mothering Sunday brings a polarity emotions for many which reminded me of these beautiful words from @rebeccacampbell_author

The Great Mother ushered you in when you took your first breath and she’ll be there when you draw your last. She knows how challenging life on Earth can be. That at times, being human can be painful, lonely, and confusing. That the polarity and separation can be difficult when your soul remembers the oneness of Source. But at the same time, it can be incredibly glorious and sweet.

We often see things as either good or bad: when things go well, we make it mean that everything’s okay, and when things don’t work out, then perhaps we’ve done something wrong or have something to fix. We’ve forgotten that life on Earth isn’t like that. Polarity is at the core of the Earth experience. And it’s through the polar extremes that we grow the most. We’re not meant to avoid the night, the shadow, and the winter.
