Happy Mothers Day

To all the Moms out there, have a glorious Mothers Day!

To all the NB's member's Moms... may your special day be filled with love!

For those of us who's Moms have passed on, I offer this poem, "A Rose for Your Pocket" by Thich Nhat Hanh:

"That year, although I was still very young
My mother left me.
And I realized
That I was an orphan.
Everyone around me was crying.
I suffered in silence . . .

Allowing the tears to flow,
I felt my pain soften.
Evening enveloped Mother’s tomb,
The pagoda bell rang sweetly.

I realized that to lose your mother
Is to lose the whole universe."

  • Mother (English) ... Mater (Latin) ... Maitri (Sanskrit) ... Metta (Pali) ...

    "Even as a mother protects with her life
    Her child, her only child,
    So with a boundless heart
    Should one cherish all living beings..."

    ~Metta Sutta
