Dia de las Madres 2021

Hoy me gustaría no solo reconocer a las #Madres del mundo por el amor que dan, los sacrificios que hacen y las victorias que aseguran. También me gustaría reconocer y celebrar la energía materna que impregna nuestra sociedad y llena a tantas personas sin importar el género, la orientación sexual o la composición familiar. Entonces, hoy, los invito a todos a unirse a mí para reconocer que ningún modelo puede albergar la profundidad de esta energía maternal que tantos celebran hoy.

Profundizando en el abrazo de #Òrìsà #Yemaya, Ella me recuerda que, como las profundidades del océano nunca se conocerán por completo, su alcance nunca será limitado. Me recuerda que está presente en el padre que también hace de madre, la madre que ha perdido a sus hijos, la madre que no puede dar a luz, el individuo que se sacrifica por los demás como si fueran de su propia sangre. Ella me recuerda que no necesita darme todos los ejemplos de cómo Su naturaleza protectora llena las necesidades de todos los que aceptan Su potencia limpiadora. Me recuerda que la orilla no busca comprender cómo se materializará el abrazo del océano; simplemente acepta las olas.

Profundizando en el abrazo de Orisha Yemaya, me recuerda que la mejor manera de honrar esta y cualquier otra energía que nos guía, protege, nutre, alienta y repara, es asegurarnos de que nunca nos dejamos convencer de que uno día es todo lo que se necesita para decir “gracias”. En cambio, nuestro agradecimiento debe ser diario porque la fuente de toda esta energía nunca nos limita a un día.

En este Día de la Madre, y todos los días del año, recordemos que si no fue para las madres; no habría otros días en absoluto.

Mother’s Day 2021

Luz, Amor, y Àşé. 

Today, I would like to not only recognize the #Mothers of the world for the love that they give, the sacrifices that they make, and the victories that they ensure; I would also like to recognize and celebrate the maternal energy that permeates through our society and fills so many regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or family composition. Today, I invite you all to join me in recognizing the fact that no one model can house the depth of this maternal energy that so many are celebrating today.

Delving into the embrace of #Òrìsà #Yemaya, She reminds me that as the depths of the ocean will never fully be known, nor will her reach ever be limited. She reminds me that she is present in the father who also serves as the mother, the mother who has lost her children, the mother who cannot give birth, the individual who sacrifices for others as if they were of their own blood…. She reminds me that She does not need to provide me with every example of how Her nurturing nature fills the needs of all who accept Her cleansing potency. She reminds me that the shore does not seek to understand how the ocean’s embrace will come to fruition, it simply accepts the waves.

Delving into the embrace of Orisha Yemaya, She reminds me that the greatest way to honor this, and every other energy, that guides, protects, nurtures, encourages, and repairs us, is to ensure that we never allow ourselves to be convinced that one day is all that is needed to say “thank you”. Instead, our thanks should be daily for the source of all this energy never limits us to one day.

On this Mother’s Day, and every day of the year, may we remember that it wasn’t for mother’s there would be no other days at all.

Maternal Energy 2017…

Luz, Amor, y Àsę.

 

Today, on behalf of Ashé International, Incorporated, I would like to not only recognize the Mothers of the world for the love that they give, the sacrifices that they make, and the victories that they ensure; I would also like to recognize and celebrate the maternal energy that permeates through our society and fills so many regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or family composition. Today, I invite you all to join me in recognizing the fact that no one model can house the depth of this maternal energy that so many are celebrating today.

 

Delving into the embrace of Orisha Yemaya, She reminds me that as the depths of the ocean will never fully be known, nor will her reach ever be limited. She reminds me that she is present in our communal mothers, the mother who has lost her children, the mother who cannot give birth, the individual who sacrifices for others as if they were of their own blood…. She reminds me that She does not need to provide me with every example of how Her nurturing nature fills the needs of all who accept Her cleansing potency. She reminds me that the shore does not seek to understand how the ocean’s embrace will come to fruition, it simply accepts the waves.

 

Delving into the embrace of Orisha Yemaya, She reminds me that the greatest way to honor this, and every other energy, that guides, protects, nurtures, encourages, and repairs us, is to ensure that we never allow ourselves to be convinced that one day is all that is needed to say “thank you”. Instead, our thanks should be daily for the source of all this energy never limits us to one day.

 

To the mothers who have been courted by exhaustion as they sacrifice to ensure the needs of their family are met… 

 

To the mothers who find themselves behind the wall….

 

To the mothers who struggle with the examples of motherhood that raised them but now serve as positive and powerful examples of how to raise our future…

 

To the mothers of each, and every, revolution…

 

To the mothers who embrace us through the winds because their love was too big to be limited by mortality….

 

To all mothers: We see you. We thank you. We celebrate you.
