Hail All Ye Mothers!


Who ran to help me when I fell,
And would some pretty story tell,
Or kiss the place to make it well?
My Mother.
~Ann Taylor

I marvel at many things day in and day out. I marvel at the numerous stars that spot the skies, I marvel at the lines of ants that march to the orders of an unseen commander, and I marvel at the discoveries of man that take him to heavens heights and to the bowels of a quark.

But I marvel most at the mothers that fill the earth. I marvel when they have kids, I marvel when they keep them, I marvel when they attempt to educate them, I marvel when they make up the weirdest of stories for them, I marvel when they take up a part time 9 to 5 job in addition to the full-time, day-n-night service they inherit when they are mothers, I marvel at their patience, their perserverance, their magnanimity, their ... The list goes on and on.

And that is exactly why, when I thought it was time to blog my thoughts, ideas, and experiences, (thanks to Mandar,) I thought my blog should be dedicated to our breed of mothers.

So if you are a mother, prospective or present, take some time to send in your thoughts, your experiences, your opinions. Let the world and its occupants marvel at the phenomenon called MOTHERS!

I plan to post in some of my experiences as a mother, some moments that made the experience worth it, some poems that I wrote for my brats, etc. So watch this space.
