4.48

“Your way is therefore to manage this minute in harmony with nature, and part with it cheerfully; and like a ripe olive when you drop, be sure to speak well of the mother that bare you, and make your acknowledgements to the tree that produced you.” — Marcus Aurelius

We are part of the whole
Given and gifted
Granted by God and nature
Passed down through generations
From our mothers.

They bear us
Giving themselves
Blood, body, soul
To make us.

Every person on Earth
We are our mother’s children.
