Mothers Day means Grannies too, and more

Behind all these lies...
a great grandmother
Great Great Grandparents
When you are in the middle of your being a mother, you think YOU are the one, you are the mother!  Well, you are, but only at that moment and then off the young fly and you are either the one who isn't or you have changed your form and become a gardener or a bridge player or a yoga enthusiast or maybe a university lecturer but like all mothers before you, you have ceased mothering.  Then the same thing happens when you become a Grandmother, you think you are the one or at least one of two because they will be another one on the other side of your son/daughter's family.  You look at yourself and see that you look more and more like your own mother….. when she was a grandmother……your hair is a dead giveaway, it goes grey just like your mother or father's did……your legs go wobbly, even if you do a marathon, they cease to have that young skin and cellulite in it's funny unevenness strikes.  You can't fool yourself if you have a mirror!  And yet and yet and yet…..you feel the same inside, even if you feel tired or you aren't well or you are busy or you aren't, you feel you have always been the same person that swung it's legs on the swing.   But you have to make an effort to access that person, especially if you aren't well or aren't busy or are suddenly on your own and just as you might put a little bit of savings in the Bank or Building Society towards a mortgage or towards a pension or even….a Care Home.   So, why not think about building up your spiritual capital, all it takes is a little time meditating each day and from my experience every little helps even if you don't think you are very good at it, actually especially if you don't think you are very good at it. 
This family was One which became great great grandparents, one is the great great great grandparent of the ones above.

 This one on the left became this one on the right who is grandfather to the one beside him who is father to one of the ones in the top photo.  He married the beautiful one underneath.  And this is only part of a story of passing people all taking part in One story which is just a part of One much bigger ONE.  So meditate to find out what lies behind all this ONEDERFULNESS
