Happy Mother’s Day to all Mom’s out there.  And to the whole spectrum of Mom’s from wanna be’s to Great Grandmas.  All the same energy.

I was up early this morning before I realized it it was Mother’s Day.  Out the kitchen window new birds were foraging around for a meal.  You could tell they were new guys, fresh out of the nest.  They were so dorky.  They had none of the elegance and economy of there older relatives.  They would be too fast or too slow or scare each other.  But they will figure out how to make a living.

Later when I realized it was Mom’s Day I was wondering if their Mom’s were watching their offspring from some overhead branch.  And all that brought back thoughts of my Mom watching me find my way, yea wasn’t always pretty for sure.  Bless you Mom for all that.

Speaking of gratitude I want to give the next installment of the emails that supported my unity speech.  The next one is from Our Catherine:

“Unity is not about the agreement of ideas, but flows from an attitude of gratitude in the recognition of our necessary and mutual interdependence.  We need each other.  We see this in times of great hardship, we humans naturally (it is in our nature) pull together to help one another.  It is the old grievances born from injustices and lack of acknowledgement that impare our natural response to one another.”  Catherine

Yup, Attitude of Gratitude!  That’s the zone that we need to be in.  Thanks Mom’s.  Love, Felipe.
