Of Mothers (and Fathers)





My friend Willow would ask, “Have you finished your work with your mother and father?” 

Have you made peace with the positives and negatives of these relationships?

Can you think about these individuals without being flooded with emotion? 

Can you say Metta or Tonglen for them, whether or not they are physically present in this world? 

Can you hold them gently, like a butterfly?
