A thought for International Mother’s Day… Imagine if you can, the infinite lineage of motherhood reaching back throughout all of humanity for thousands and thousands of years.. It’s impossible to envisage, but if you also bear in mind that every single person you see today was carried – delivered and nurtured by a woman – a mother, you start to appreciate the scale of the universal/essential theme of ‘motherhood’. It is central to our very existence.. Then why is it that 1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime globally?? Why do we maintain cultures of misogyny, repression, violence and disrespect against women?
Where does the root of this negation of women originate from? With love and appreciation to every mother everywhere – without whom…
