Into April

Monday 28.03.2020 signals the seasonal shift from March to April with clocks already turned back yesterday, doubtless confusing more than a few folks celebrating Mother's Day. From memory Mother's Day was a commemoration of the archetypal Mother of compassion, in the Catholic version Mother Mary, though other religions may well have had their own special days. What is clear though is that the other mammalian species don't celebrate Mother's Day, the suckling of their babies notwithstanding.

The Mother of your blogger dear reader, surely exhibited  the features of the archetypical mother as her children will attest. She passed on some years ago and your blogger was happy to be at the passing in Bournemouth Hospital where a room had been prepared for the family who had gathered around the bed in time to say farewell. She had often said she'd had enough in her 80s, the death of her elder son in Australiia having knocked the stuffing out of her, and her heart condition could clearly pointed to the possibility of her following her husband to pass on, which our Father had done 5 years previously.

Moving on to Easter, 17.04 2020 this year, we find another Holy Day for banks,  not to mention Good Friday when Jesus Christ was crucified for causing trouble for the Roman Empire. Sunday, when he rose from the dead, however was not a Bank Holiday, but Easter Monday was, which is nice for Bank employees of course, and other unionised folks, but in these secular times shops open every day of the year, even Sundays!

And so, dear readers, as Monday becomes Tuesday, albeit early, it's time to send this message to eager subscribers to the Philosophy expressed in Wear & Dao. Make of it what you will my friends and if you find it helps you towards the Ultimate Truth, please do respond so that we may share; and if you care to say a prayer for the miracles required to assist the doctors and nurses in the recovery of yours truly, feel free to do so, and I will reciprocate!
