- The Empty Boat -
A monk decides to meditate alone, away from his monastery.
He takes his boat out to the middle of the lake, moors it there, closes his eyes and begins his meditation.
After a few hours of undisturbed silence, he suddenly feels the bump of another boat
My mother was my shelter growing up. Every time I was afraid or vulnerable or hurt, she was there. I could unburden myself, cry, feel the warmth I sought. We had our secrets. And I am sure all of you have similar stories to tell. So while you can, give her a hug, sit by her feet, talk to her, tell her why the shelter she gave you made you stronger. #MothersDay. #TheBest.
