A baby asked God,
"They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow,
but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
God said,
"Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
The child further inquired,
"But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything
but sing and smile to be happy."
God said,
"Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you.
And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."
Again the child asked,
"And how am I going to be able to understand
when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"
God said,
"Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear,
and with much patience and care,
your angel will teach you how to speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
the child said.
God said,
"Your angel will place your hands together
and will teach you how to pray."
"Who will protect me?"
the child said.
God said,
"Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her life."
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore"
the child said.
God said,
"Your angel will always talk to you about Me,
and will teach you the way to come back to Me,
even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven,
but voices from Earth could be heard
and the child hurriedly asked,
"God, if I am to leave now,
please tell me my angel's name."
"They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow,
but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
God said,
"Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

Lilacs and Pussy Willows
Every spring, it was a big deal for us kids to hunt for
the first pussy-willows of the season and bring them home
to mom – an even bigger deal if you were the “first” one to do so.
Later in life, it became a big deal to me to bring mom her first lilacs
of the season, and I would drive for miles to find early blooming ones.
The moment a child is born,
the mother is also born.
She never existed before.
The woman existed,
but the mother, never.
A mother is something absolutely new. ~ Rajneesh

"Mom."
"You will simply call her,

Lift a mother's spirit,
send a special greeting
to every mother you know...
No matter how old her child is.
