“From her thighs, she gives you life
And how you treat she who gives you life
Shows how much you value the life given to you by the Creator.
And from seed to dust
There is ONE soul above all others --
That you must always show patience, respect, and trust
And this woman is your mother.
And when your soul departs your body
And your deeds are weighed against the feather
There is only one soul who can save yours
And this woman is your mother.
And when the heart of the universe
Asks her hair and mind,
Whether you were gentle and kind to her
Her heart will be forced to remain silent
And her hair will speak freely as a separate entity,
Very much like the seaweed in the sea --
It will reveal all that it has heard and seen.

This woman whose heart has seen yours,
First before anybody else in the world,
And whose womb had opened the door
For your eyes to experience light and more --
Is your very own MOTHER.
So, no matter whether your mother has been cruel,
Manipulative, abusive, mentally sick, or simply childish
How you treat her is the ultimate test.
If she misguides you, forgive her and show her the right way
With simple wisdom, gentleness, and kindness.
And always remember,
That the queen in the Creator's kingdom,
Who sits on the throne of all existence,
Is exactly the same as in yours.
And her name is,
THE DIVINE MOTHER.”

“The debt between a child and her mother could never be repaid, like running a foot race against someone fifteen miles ahead of you. What hope did you have of catching up? It didn't matter how many Mother's Day cards you drew, how many cliches and vows of devotions you put inside them. You could tell her she was your favorite parent, wink like you were co-conspirators, fill her in on every trivial detail of your life. None of it was enough. It had taken me years to figure this out: you would never love your mother as much as she loved you. She had formed memories of you since you were a poppy seed in her belly. You didn't begin making your own memories until three, four, five years old? She'd had a running start. She had known you before you even existed. How could we compete with that? We couldn't. We accepted that our mothers held their love over us, let them parade it around like a flashy trinket, because their love was superior to ours.”
― Stephanie Wrobel, Darling Rose Gold

“I wanted to soothe and comfort her, the way she had comforted her daughters.”
― A.B. Shepherd, The Beacon

“He stood there, his eyes like they had been before. Their beauty stabbed at her heart like a great knife; the hair looked so like she had just pressed the wet comb to it and perhaps put a little pomade on the sides; and the small face was clean and sad. Yet her arms somehow did not ache to hold him like her heart told her they should. Something too far away and too strong was between her and him; she only saw him as she had always seen resurrection pictures, hidden from us as in a wonderful mist that will not let us see our love complete.”
― James Purdy, 63, Dream Palace: Selected Stories, 1956-1987

“It was like that with her mother – memory upon memory stacked together like the feathers in a wild bird, there to keep her warm, or when she needed to, fly. She was the wings of her, the very wings.”

“Putriku, bagaimana kau tahan sedemikian banyak penderitaan dan kepedihan? Bagaimana aku menahannya bersamamu dulu? Selalu kurasa, putriku, bahwa engkau mampu melakukan apa saja, memindahkan gunung atau menghancurkan batu-batu karang, walaupun tubuhmu kecil dan lemah seperti juga diriku. Namun ketika kaki-kakimu yang kecil mungil menendang-nendang dinding lambungku, aku berkata kepada diriku: Tuhan, kekuatan yang apa ada dalam tubuhku ini? Gerakanmu kuat ketika kau masih sebuah janin dan mengguncangku dari dalam, sebagaimana gunung berapi yang mengguncang bumi. Namun kutahu bahwa engkau sekecil diriku, tulang-tulangmu kecil seperti tulang-tulang ayahmu, setinggi dan serampingnenekmu, sedangkan kedua kakimu sebesar kaki para nabi. Ketika kau lahir, nenekmu mengatupkan bibirnya dalam kesedihan dan berkata: Ah, seorang anak perempuan dan jelek lagi! Bencana ganda! Kutegangkan otot-otot lambungku untuk menahan rasa sakit di rahimku dan menghentikan darah dan sambil bernafas dengan sulit karena kelahiranmu sukar dan aku menderita seakan-akan kulahirkan sebuah gunung, kukatakan kepada nenekmu: Bagiku ia lebih berharga daripada seisi dunia ini! Kudekap engkau ke dadaku dan aku pun tertidur nyenyak. Dapatkah aku, Putriku, kembali menikmati saat tidur nyenyak ketika engkau berada di dalam diriku atau setidak-tidaknya dekat denganku sehingga dapat kuulurkan tanganku untuk menyentuhmu? Atau ketika engkau berada di kamarmu di sebelah kamarku sehingga aku dapat berjingkat untuk menjengukmu waktu kau tidur?”
― Nawal El Saadawi, In Camera

“For the dearest Mother in the whole world, who is 95 today


Dear Mother, how blessed I am that we have been able to share the greatest part of our lives together, in different parts of the world and, of course, from the very beginning with You as my educator. Even today, I can still talk with You and receive Your supportive advice as Your Son. You taught me the basic principles I needed to stand strong in this changing society, with good advice, manners and life wisdom. Being polite and kind to others costs nothing, You always taught me. You also taught me to treat people the way I would like to be approached and helped myself. I have always tried to follow that advice, although sometimes it became too much for me when people misused it and different thoughts about humanity started to rise within me. Fortunately, You also taught me never to lose trust in myself and to continue from that trust. Papa added his own wise lesson to that: trust is good, control is better. Sadly, he passed away through illness, in a time when our family bond was harmonious, although we also went through difficult periods, as many families experience both good and difficult times. Those experiences only made us stronger. Now we can look back on many beautiful moments with a smile and sometimes also with a tear. Time flies, and it has now been more than 35 years since Your Husband and Our Father passed away. After that, You never met the Prince on the white horse again, although Your heart was certainly good enough for that. Today is the day that You may celebrate Your 95th birthday, with joy, happiness and hopefully good health. All the children, I and my four sisters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren hope that many more healthy years may follow in harmony. Still, we must leave that to nature and the course of life, because nobody receives a fixed life program in this world. Our relationship has always been very special. We can talk about everything in understandable conversations, where often joy, warmth and a good feeling come forward. For all of this, I would like to thank You kindly and sincerely. Thank You for all the support You have always given us, for the good upbringing, the rules and the life lessons. I myself and the people around me know what I mean by that and still benefit from it today. You are my best Friend and Female Friend I have ever met in my life. Besides that, I also have the great blessing that You are the dearest Mother in the whole world. Happy birthday, and I wish You many more healthy years, my dearest and respectful Mother.
