Me and my two wonderful sons.
My younger son Ben just finished his first year at Miami of Ohio. He's on a running scholarship there.
On Wednesday we leave for California on what I am calling "Aaron's Victory Lap". We will see my Buddhist mentors and our dear friends. We will travel our whole stomping ground....from the Bay Area to LA to Aliso Viejo and Soka University. I am bringing my computer and will continue to blog from California...just like I did when I travelled there two years ago.
What words can possibly describe the joys of motherhood?
I, along with their father, brought these two beautiful, loving beings into existence.
And from then on I have concentrated my daimoku and energy in the direction of their happiness, their development, their growing faith and their happiness. Yes. I said happiness twice. I think happiness is the most important of all.
So many things flow from happiness!
And right now my heart is filled with gratitude....
gratitude for knowing
these these young men are kind, thoughtful men...
these young men know the law of cause and effect...
never bullied each other...
never bullied others...
they would never start a war...
they are sweet, loving...
know what they want...
and how to get it...
they can stand up for themselves
and for others...
they are intuitive...
strong...
self-motivated...
talented in brain-power
creativity...
leadership...
mentors to others...
and wonderful and thoughtful and appreciative of their parents, and grandparents and all the goodness around them in the world.
They can chant to make a better life...
and a better world for their children...
What could be better than this.
Oh, Happy Mother's Day!
