1.3. MY MOTHER
Her reverence for the divine, her generosity, her inability not only to do wrong but even to conceive of doing it. And the simple way she lived-not in the least like the rich.
This insert in meditations comes from what’s known as the “influences” section. On this Mother’s Day I think we can take inspiration from Marcus and the way he talks about his mother.
For most of us in Mother’s Day we get flowers and say thanks mom we love you, but how many of us really look at what makes our mothers unique and special and then verbalize that to them? If you are lucky to still have a mother and/or have a good relationship with her be like Marcus don’t just be surface level with her. Really look at what makes her beautiful, what makes her special, what do you revere in her and how has it inspired you.
A happy Mother’s Day from one of the best Emperors of Rome.
