Alignment (Mother's Day)

Michael Andrews - Goldfish

Events that have occurred are rather different in retrospect than how they are at the moment. The control and will you have at "the moment" is a culmination of events leading prior to that momentary event of "choice". Despite this being a rather obnoxious statement, perhaps it's only in this moment that it should appear as so and differently in another. Familiar to some and different for others.

Although as minds and perspectives evolve over time, there are thankfully some absolutes that grow stronger as the complexities of thought develop in one's mind. Through the confusing lattices there are some roots that anchor the soul to feel settled.

Looking back at the events culminating into the now, it is an absolute that my mother is a true anchor for my soul and very being. Through the difficult times I've had with her, the conflict of frustration perhaps stemmed from love and the necessities of pain for progress. Those small but important events when looked back on in retrospect are diamonds amongst a sea of light and love that she helped weave together. These wonderful events do not overshadow nor underplay everything. What I see now is because of her and everything that has made her who she is today; her own sea of diamonds.

Although many people do not have the same relationship with their mothers, the pretentious statement of having absolutes anchoring the soul may appear so only in this moment, but differently in another. Similar to some and different for others.

This is my Mother's Day statement, but as far as I'm concerned, everyday is Mother's Day.
