“A mother is not a person to lean upon, but a person to make leaning unnecessary.” (Dorothy Canfield Fisher)

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day and it was a busy day in downtown Toronto. I visited Chapters which is a big bookstore in the Manulife Centre and many young children and older children, as well as grown-ups were there shopping for cards and other gifts for Mother’s Day. As I rode the subway, I also saw many people carrying flowers - although Mother’s Day is not until tomorrow. I passed a fine chocolate shop where many people were buying chocolates. There was definitely an excitement to all this shopping.

This collage is for Mother’s Day. We all come into this world via the womb of our mothers. Whether we love them or hate them, they remain our mothers. The most well-known image of any Mother and Child is the one of Mary holding the baby Jesus. You don’t have to be Christian to have seen this one. The image of Mary and Jesus in this collage was done as part of a bigger mosaic for my son’s birthday. The pieces here are stained glass. I used pearls around Mary’s face and there is another piece of my jewelry by her neck. I don’t know why I undertook such a big project, other than to say, I did it out of love. The hands and feet of the little people in the other images are friends of mine. We all want to make sure that our babies have five fingers and five toes when they are born.
