Happy Mothers’ Day

May 6th, 2008 Posted in The Hall's News

Hey I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Mothers’ Day, plus there is a special poem I have for you all… Enjoy!

A mother casts her dreams into the sea;
We, the words sent bobbing towards the sun,
The eggs of stone, the shards of prophesy.
Because she must conclude her melody
And fall back to the sweet dark hush of One,
A mother casts her dreams into the sea,

Hoping to cross that wild infinity
And on some infant shore again to run,
The eggs of stone, the shards of prophesy

Outside the fiery circle of memory,
The howling surf, the incessant years undone …
A mother casts her dreams into the sea

And then dissolves into a tapestry,
Her rolling, helpless drift again begun,
The eggs of stone, the shards of prophesy

Afloat once more upon eternity,
Once more the alien fury, never done …
Again, again, her dreams into the sea,
The eggs of stone, the shards of prophesy!
 

Take care,

Esteban

    Happy Mother’s Day

    A woman, renewing her driver’s license at the County Clerk’s office, was asked by the woman recorder to state her occupation.

    She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.

    ‘What I mean is, ‘ explained the recorder, ‘do you have a job or are you just a …?’

    ‘Of course I have a job,’ snapped the woman. ‘I am a Mom.’

    ‘We don’t list ‘Mom’ as an occupation, ‘housewife’ covers it,’ said the recorder emphatically.

    I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself in the same situation, this time at our own Town Hall. The clerk was obviously a career woman. Poised, efficient, and possessed of a high sounding title like, ‘Official Interrogator’ or ‘Town Registrar.’

    ‘What is your occupation?’ she probed.

    What made me say it? I do not know. The words simply popped out. ‘I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.’

    The clerk paused, ball-point pen frozen in midair and looked up as though she had not heard right.

    I repeated the title slowly emphasizing the most significant words. Then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement was written, in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.

    ‘Might I ask,’ said the clerk with new interest, ‘just what you do in your field?’

    Coolly, without any trace of fluster in my voice, I heard myself reply, ‘I have a continuing program of research, (what mother doesn’t) In the laboratory and in the field, (normally I would have said indoors and out).

    I’m working for my Masters, (first the Lord and then the whole family) and already have four credits (all daughters). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities, (any mother care to disagree?) and I often work 14 hours a day, (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most run-of-the-mill careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.’

    There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and personally ushered me to the door.

    As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants — ages 13, 7, and 3. Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model, (a 6 month old baby) in the child development program, testing out a new vocal pattern. I felt I had scored a beat on bureaucracy! And I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable to mankind than ‘just another Mom.’

    Motherhood!
    What a glorious career!
