Mary Ellen Farris August 26,1933 - March 17, 2010
his issue is dedicated to the memory of my mother whose recent passage has left myself, her family and friends mourning a deep loss but counting the many blessings she brought to our lives. Born in Los Angeles of English immigrants she embodied the grace and style of a queen, balanced by a humility and unselfishness that was legendary amongst those who knew her. Unconditional love and acceptance was her gift to me throughout my life and for that I am truly grateful. Celebrate and honor a special mother in your life this month. – Monte Farris, Publisher ON THE COVER: “Quan Yin’s Light” by Paul Heussenstamm. The Goddess of Mercy, Quan Yin, is one of the most universally beloved of deities in the Buddhist tradition She is the embodiment of compassionate loving kindness.

Mothering Day by Tina Drennan
11
Mother’s Day. It pops up once a year, just when you’re planning your Memorial Day bash. It’s joyful for many, inconvenient for others, but let’s admit, it’s down right awkward for those of us who squirm in front of the Hallmark racks, searching for the one card that will serve the purpose without compromising our souls, not to mention our wallets. According to the National Retail Federation, consumers will spend $15.8 billion on Mother’s Day this year, with an average expenditure of $138.63. This was not exactly what Anna Jarvis of West Virginia had in mind back in 1914, when she won her campaign to make observation of Mother’s Day a National holiday. By the 1920s, Anna had grown weary of the blatant commercialization that had hijacked her idea, when all she really wanted was to honor her own mother and remind us all to show our mothers appreciation for their “truth, purity and broad charity of mother love.” What she intended to be a holy day honoring mothers and all they do and sacrifice for their children was quickly seized as a ripe opportunity for retailers, florists, and candy makers to cash in on a glorious windfall. Alas, poor Anna did not thoroughly research her project, or she might have foreseen the impending calamity. This was not the first time in history an attempt to honor motherhood has been hijacked. Festivals celebrating motherhood have been popular throughout the centuries. The Ancient Romans celebrated for several days at the vernal equinox, in honor of the mother goddess Cybele. After a day of fasting and a day of sacrifice, Sanguis, the day of blood, (scourging, whipping and castration) was followed by Hilaira, the day of joy. After that came a much-needed day of rest, followed by a day to clean up the blood, beer bottles and empty pizza boxes. I’m not sure how any of this honors our mothers, except by cleaning up our own mess afterward, but as a mother, I might just as well have enjoyed the card and a box of Godivas. By the sixteenth century, Christianity was the order of the day, and the Roman Empire gave up its bloody mother’s day celebration for a more useful day of worship. The Church swapped the celebration of the vernal equinox in the middle of March for honoring the Virgin Mary on fourth Sunday of Lent. Believers
made reverent trips back to their church of origin, their Mother church. This practice came to be known as going “a-mothering.” Non-believers must have gone “a-fishing,” although it wasn’t popular at the time to be a non-believer. (If you were, you didn’t spread that information around.) It wasn’t until the 19th century that “Mothering Day,” celebrated more or less regularly the second week of May, morphed into what we know today as “Mother’s Day,” a retail bonanza only surpassed by Halloween and Christmas. Which brings me back to my original position in front of the Hallmark rack. If I were tasked to buy each of my various
If I were tasked to buy each of my various mothers a card, I would be in the proverbial deep doo-doo. mothers a card, I would be in the proverbial deep doo-doo. My parents divorced when I was around two years old. My mother traded up from a swab jockey, my father returned from the Pacific, to a slick-dressing purchasing agent where she worked. I was dropped into the fifties when parents slept in twin beds and no one— no one —got divorced unless they were movie stars, misfits, or madmen. Fortunately for me, my grandmother was there with a wide lap, loving arms, and the ire of an Irish woman to set me on the path and the strength of character to keep me there. We kept up appearances, but everyone knew, shhhh, she lives with her grandma because...her parents are... divorced. At the time, I was oblivious to the scandal. In fact, I felt kind of special going to visit mother on the third Sunday of the month. During those times, she gave me what wisdom she could muster, like “never squint into the sun, it makes wrinkles;” and “put your bouffant to bed on a silk pillow case.” As
well as, “never drink martinis on an empty stomach.” I could compare my mother to Anna Karenina, driven by desire to leave her young husband and child for another man, except that she’d made a very good choice that lasted her a lifetime. I dutifully purchased the momcard every year, though we did little in the way of bonding. (A big, well deserved I told you so coming from Ms. Jarvis.) My grandmother taught me the important things, the enduring things, the card-worthy things. That God is Love with a capitol ell, and that God was my father and my mother, so I wasn’t missing out on anything. She sent me through years of Sunday school, where I was drilled on the Ten Commandments, The Sermon on the Mount, and the Be-attitudes. For my liberal education I learned useful dittys like “whistling girls and crowing hens always come to some bad ends,” and “we don’t smoke and we don’t chew, and we don’t go with boys who do.” Her mother’s day card was usually hand drawn or pasted up as an exercise in grammar school, the words I Love You steadily becoming more legible. Having raised seven children of her own, my grandmother was Jane Austen’s classic mother, worthy of the highest Hallmark praise. Imagine her shock when, after a string of wild affairs with brunettes and redheads and air heads, my father finally married an “appropriate” mother, a person I will refer to as HonkyTonk Ruth. I spent my next eight years in California’s South Bay, a wannabe Gidget, pushing back hard against her St. Charles, Louisiana influences--a very different kind of South. Ruth’s hair was too frizzy, her skirts were too long, she smoked and drank, and sang loud and bawdy at country bars before karaoke was a sparkle in the inventor’s eye. I could never understand why she pushed so hard. The worst thing I did was cut the push ups out of her black strapless bra and stuff them in my bathing suit. I would love to have been a fly on the wall when she discovered the surgery, but she never did; at least not on my watch. (Would be step mothers of twelve-year-old daughters beware: you don’t stand a chance.) By the time I reached junior high school, having divorced parents was only mildly embarrassing compared to having a country-singing step mom serving beer at the local bowling alley in a little black and red chambermaid outfit.

My Mother, My Friend The young mother set foot on the path of life. “Is this the long way?” asked the young mother as she set her foot on the path of life. And the guide said: “Yes, and the way is hard, and you will be old before you reach the end of it. But the end will be better than the beginning.” The young mother was happy, and she would not believe that anything could be better than these years. So she played with her children, she fed them and bathed them, taught them how to tie their shoes and ride a bike, and reminded them to feed the dog and do their homework and brush their teeth. The sun shone on them and the young mother cried, “Nothing will ever be lovelier than this.” Then the nights came, and the storms, and the path was sometimes dark, and the children shook with fear and cold, and the mother drew them close and covered them with her arms. The children said, “Mother, we are not afraid, for you are near, and no harm can come.” And the morning came, and there was a hill ahead, and the children climbed and grew weary, and the mother was weary. But at all times she said to the children, “A little patience and we are there.” So the children climbed and as they climbed they learned to weather the storms. And with this, she gave them strength to face the world. Year after year she showed them compassion, understanding, hope, but most of all unconditional love. And when they reached the top they said, “Mother, we could not have done it without you.” The days went on, and the weeks and the months and the years. The mother grew old and she became little and bent. But her children were tall and strong, and walked with courage. And the mother, when she lay down at night, looked up at the stars and said: “This is a better day than the last, for my children have learned so much and are now passing these traits on to their children.” And when the way became rough for her, they lifted her, and gave her strength, just as she had given them hers. One day they came to a hill, and beyond the hill they could see a shining road and golden gates flung wide. And Mother said, “I have reached the end of my journey. And now I know the end is better than the beginning, for my children can walk with dignity and pride, with their heads held high, and so can their children after them.” And the children said, “You will always walk with us, Mother, even when you have gone through the gates.” And they stood and watched her as she went on alone, and the gates closed after her. And they said, “We cannot see her, but she is with us still.” A mother is more than a memory. She is a living presence. Your Mother is always with you. She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, she’s the smell of certain foods you remember, the flowers you pick and perfume that she wore, she’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well, she’s your breath in the air on a cold winters day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow, she is your birthday morning. Your Mother lives inside your laughter. And she’s crystallized in every tear drop. A mother shows through in every emotion – happiness, sadness, fear, jealousy, love, hate, anger, helplessness, excitement, joy, sorrow – and all the while hoping and praying you will only know the good feelings in life. She’s the place you came from, your first home, and she’s the map you follow with every step you take. She’s your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you. Not time, not space – not death! - Written for Good Housekeeping Magazine in 1933 by Temple Bailey -

An Interview with Karen Maezen Miller Author of Hand Wash Cold and Momma Zen
Research says the modern woman is increasingly unhappy. Why do you think that is so? I’m not so sure that unhappiness is increasing regardless of what the research says. I know that research is increasing, and that may be the key to the findings. Research like this shows us how thoughts trigger feelings. If someone asks me how happy I am, I’m likely to give it more thought than I would otherwise give it. I might not be thinking about happiness at all, but if you ask me to evaluate it, I could judge my happiness to be lacking, especially compared to how happy I think I’m supposed to be. The truth is we’re all afflicted by the sense of insufficiency. We wear it like a permanent stain. Happiness is simple. Everything we do to find it is complicated. We try to find more time, more help, more leisure and more reward. We seek ever greater sources of external gratification – a newer job, a newer partner, more stuff, greater status,
and a sense of security – and even if we acquire them they rarely fulfill our expectations. Living this way is a recipe for unhappiness. I know; I tried it and it left me hungry for more.
Some would say your advice in praise of homemaking sets the cause of gender equality back 50 years. How would you defend your view? Household work is a timeless fact of life. No one needs to defend it and no one needs to praise it, but someone needs to do it! No matter how sophisticated and complicated life seems to be, it still boils down to breakfast, lunch and dinner. We still spend a good bit of our time in the laundry room, the kitchen or the yard. Household chores give us the chance to intimately engage with our lives. They give us the ingredients for genuine fulfillment, because in caring for our homes we are caring for ourselves. Since laundry literally saved my life, I like to take first dibs on it. My husband can change the light bulbs and fix the sprinklers, and I call it even.
You use household chores as opportunities for spiritual practice, but no one likes to do housework. What other activities can bring mindfulness into our everyday lives? Anything and everything is an opportunity to be mindful: to pay complete attention. So while you’re working, just work; driving, just drive; talking, just talk; exercising, just exercise; eating, just eat. When you’re with your family, give them your undistracted and nonjudgmental attention (for at least one hour a day). Attention is the most concrete expression of love. Whatever you pay attention to thrives; whatever you don’t pay attention to withers and dies. This is true of every aspect of your life and your relationships. It’s especially useful to bring your nonjudgmental attention to doing what you don’t particularly like. Do it without commentary or resentment and it becomes a pivot point for changing the way you view your whole life. Wisdom subtly guides us in the direction we’d least like to go.
You trace the onset of your spiritual journey to the day that you stopped taking antidepressants. Where do you
25
stand on the debate about meditation versus antidepressants? Debates don’t serve anyone and so I never take a stand. It can be useful, however, to realize how much power we have in our own lives – the power to step forward and take responsibility, and the power to make choices and change. There is no greater power than your own. When we realize our own sufficiency, we see that we always have the help we need when we need it. At different times, the help may come in the form of a pill, or in my case, a meditation pillow.
You had an encounter with a spiritual teacher that changed your life. Is there hope for people who haven’t yet had the occasion to meet a charismatic teacher? Yes, there’s more than hope; there’s certainty. Wherever you are when you open your eyes, there will be something or someone to instruct and motivate you. It may be a pile of laundry, a sink full of dishes or the weeds in the yard, but they are teachers just the same.
You left your career to devote yourself to your family and your spiritual practice, but not everybody has the chance to be a stay-at-home mother
or a full-time homemaker. What advice do you offer working women who have to balance competing priorities? The most important advice I can give is to not judge yourself. Our lives feel out of balance when we think we should be doing something other than what we are doing. Thinking that way makes us feel guilty, overwhelmed and inadequate. So I encourage women to trust where they are and to take care of what is directly in front of them. At work, what matters is work, and not the guilty thoughts or worries about what is going on at home. At home, what matters is what is at home, and not what is back at work. This is difficult since the boundaries between home and work have been blurred by 24-hour technologies, but life is too precious to confuse our priorities. When we trust our lives enough to invest ourselves totally in what is at hand, our work life benefits and our home life benefits. In a sense, our only job is to pay complete attention to where we are. We must be careful not to live suspended between the what-ifs and the how-comes: devoted to the life we don’t have. When we do that, we cheat ourselves and all those we love, and we live in a permanent state of imbalance.
You write, “The search for meaning robs our life of meaning” Are you saying there is no meaning? And if there is meaning, what is it, in your view? It is the search that leads us astray. The meaning is always at hand in this moment. This moment right now is the fruit of an infinite past and the seed of a limitless future. How can you find more meaning than that? You can’t.
A lot of people try meditation and find they can’t do it. What then? Is peace of mind available to them? Yes, peace of mind is always available to us when we attend to what is present instead of to our worries, fears and anxieties about the past or the future. Everyone, and I mean everyone, who tries meditation comes away thinking they can’t do it. That’s what we’re always telling ourselves about nearly everything we do! In a way, telling yourself you can’t meditate is the first step in meditation: you notice the things you tell yourself – all the limiting and self-critical thoughts. Meditation is simply the practice of paying attention to yourself, noticing the grip your thoughts have on you, and releasing thoughts instead of pursuing them. When we pursue our anxious, fearful ruminations, we leave the peace of mind that is already present. Peace never leaves, but we leave peace. Bring your attention back to what is in (continued on page 52)

Learning to Crawl For Ivy
Her knees wake up at night— They push her bottom into the air And propel her forward until Her head mashes the lamb-covered crib bumpers. She can go no farther— In hot, painful gasps, she cries.
Evening Song
She’s getting ready to crawl— She dreams it first.
Girls singing in the backyard open door
Her own hugeness in the dream
I am to stay nearby
Frightens her.
Still young they need to know that I am near
So even while I (Awakened and standing by) Pull her Soothe her Center her— See her begin to spill like milk Onto the sheet— She’ll tense and cry again Until I’ve held her,
A New Mother’s Afternoon
All else is quiet heavy on my ear
She’s bicycling on her back
A night enclosed by cool, a starless sky
In the bassinet.
Girls singing in the backyard open door
Crying out. Trying out her voice
No friend’s phone call piercing purchased air
In squeaks and sighs.
No beloved’s voice to call forth mine
She used to cycle miles in the soft cave
Still young they need to know that I am near
Of my uterus-Those bad dreams
And she’s felt in the heat of my arms and breath
Of her twisting and twirling in distress--
That I am bigger,
Now I laugh at what I feared.
She is small once more.
I stay nearby and know the care And feel how earth is nurtured by her night Girls singing in the backyard open door
This girl is going to run!
I know aloneness empty of despair
- 1990
In the afternoon sun I watch her flop open
Emptied, to be filled up by and by
The way bread slices fall once the bag’s been untied,
Still young they need to know that I am near
Gently her head goes to the side,
My heart is quiet, this is what I hear
She startles, jerks, sighs and finally sleeps.
No memories, no wants intrude or pry Girls singing in the backyard open door Still young they need to know that I am near
Abruptly I am tugged, tugged
- 1990
Like a powerless child, By a mother’s hand Led from a delightful store window. . . Until the apartment is drenched in peace. We both are asleep. - 1990

front of you and peace is instantly restored. As for learning to meditate, everything in life takes practice. Everything! What we lack is patience with ourselves, and the grace to keep trying no matter how inadequate we judge ourselves to be.
Is the peace and fulfillment you describe really possible for people who aren’t priests or who don’t devote their lives to spiritual pursuits? Being a priest has nothing to do with it. Spiritual devotion has nothing to do with it. All it takes is a change of view. With only a change in one’s perspective, the most ordinary things take on inexpressible beauty, and everything you’re looking for is right there. I became a priest to make my life more ordinary. When I make my life more ordinary I can devote myself wholeheartedly to the laundry.
You describe the culmination of your journey as trusting the world as it is – trusting our communities, our schools, our cities, and everyone in it. But the world seems to be in a dangerous downward spiral. Is trust realistic and practical in these difficult times? Trust is not only realistic, it is imperative. We live in a world of our own making. The world is in its current state not because of naïve faith or blind trust, but because of distrust, anger, greed and fear. Trust is the only antidote for distrust. Kindness is the only cure for unkindness. The world doesn’t need another enemy or faction, not another wall or barricade. The world needs a homemaker – it needs each of us to make ourselves at home within it. When we do that, at least one conflict – our conflict with the world around us – comes to an end. We’ve turned our patch of pavement into paradise. Karen Maezen Miller is the author of Hand Wash Cold and Momma Zen.

The
Healthy
Berry Clafouti
(Gratitude to Julia Child)
Foodie
by Sharon Hall Many of us fall into food patterns when it comes to holidays. For example, before I started to enjoy cooking, I would take my mom out to a restaurant for Mother’s Day. We would always had a good time, but a lot of money was spent and often the food and the ambience wasn’t nearly as nice as her own home. Since I discovered how much fun it is to cook, for the last few years we’ve had brunch at her house. We have a good time, the food is fresh and mostly organic, and living over the ocean as she does, the view is spectacular. Mother’s Day brunch is a time-honored tradition and sometimes it’s nice to offer something fairly un-traditional. Julia Child is one of my heroines Even though she was not a mother, she has inspired and nurtured many of us, her culinary spiritual children. I adapted her delicious recipe for cherry clafouti to one with seasonal berries. Made with raspberries and blueberries, eggs, milk, vanillla and sugar, it adds the perfect light and healthy touch to a springtime mom’s day. As dear Julia would say, “Bon Appetit!”
serves 6+ 1 1/4 cups milk or half and half 1/3 cup sugar 3 eggs 1 Tablespoon vanilla 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup flour 2 cups, combined raspberries and blueberries 1/3 cup sugar powdered sugar butter for baking dish
In a blender blend milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt and flour. Pour a 1/4 inch layer of the batter in a buttered 7 or 8 cup lightly buttered fireproof baking dish. Place in the oven until a film of batter sets in the pan. Remove from oven and spread berries over the batter. Sprinkle on the 1/3 cup of sugar. Pour on the rest of the batter. Bake at 350 degrees for about for about 45 minutes to an hour. The clafouti is done when puffed and brown and and a knife plunged in the center comes out clean. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, serve warm. Serve immediately and warm as the clafouti tends to collapse as it cools. Serve with whipped cream, if so desired.

Ask the
Herbalist by Djehuty Ma’atra Djehuty, As a Taurus, what do I need to know about my health? In medical astrology, Taurus governs the neck and throat. Taureans have to be aware of specific health needs, primarily those that deal with the throat and neck areas , and secondarily those that deal with the respiratory system. The neck is the site of the Fifth Chakra, called Vissudha in Sanskrit (meaning “to purify”), which deals with “higher creativity,” “self expression” (especially of one’s principles, beliefs, etc.,) “communication,” and “will.” When the Throat Chakra is blocked, you are unable to speak your truth. When the Throat Chakra is overactive (or has excess energy,) you will: (1) speak before you think and usually with hurtful and/or spiteful words, (2) have a dogmatic nature, (3) be arrogant, and (4) be self-righteous. The Throat Chakra is where we speak or sing our love for God and our life purpose. Taurus is the Singer, the Great Orator. They naturally have the gift of speech, communication, and singing. The Throat Chakra connects to our respiratory system. This is why Taureans are prone to respiratory diseases such as bronchitis and asthma. Also, growing up, I constantly experienced scratchy/irritated throat, and hoarseness. I was constantly sick as a child. I also was very shy and didn’t speak much as a child. I now realize why I experienced most of my childhood maladies with my throat and lungs. Energy imbalances with the Throat (Fifth) Chakra will usually manifest as ear, nose, throat, neck, thyroid, and respiratory illness and disease. Therefore, Taureans are prone to such diseases and disorders as itchy/ scratchy throat, tonsillitis, sore throat (hoarseness,) hypothyroidism (goiter,) hyperthyroidism; laryngitis, neck pain, Graves disease, bronchitis, asthma, pneumonia, and metabolism dysfunction (which leads to weight problems, mostly obesity.) Taureans tend to gain excess weight and can quickly become obese. Taurus is ruled by Venus and is thus a lover of good food and drink. And because Taurus can be quite lazy, excess pounds gather and add up rather quickly; so the Taurus must move, must be mobile, and should not be sedentary for the sake of their own health. Taureans should make sure to get adequate amounts of SODIUM. Sodium is the necessary cell-salt of Taurus. Great sources of natural sodium include Seaweed (dulse, kelp, etc.), Celery, and sea salt. People born between April 20th and May 20th are born under Taurus. For More Info Visit: www.dherbs.com
