These moving meditations for all mothers - traditional, single, adopted, bereaved, foster and stepmothers - are drawn from many faith traditions, including Native American, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu and Buddhist.  Exploring the cycle of motherhood through the metaphor of the planting season, these writings capture the reverence for mothers found in various faith traditions and cultures, and the profound experiences - often bittersweet and ripe with paradox - shared by mothers through history.  Contributions stem from both ancient and contemporary sources, and many contributions were written specifically for this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction  1 Tilling the Soil Honoring Our Maternal Ancestors  2 Spring A Season of Planting and New Life  3 Summer A Season of Growth and Transformation  4 Autumn A Season of Thanks-Giving  5 Winter A Season of Loss  6 The Divine Mother A Sustaining Taproot  7 Sowing the Seeds The Power of a Mother's Love  About the Contributors Credits Acknowledgments Editor's Note","brand":"Jewish Lights Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359682167127,"sku":"9781594732393","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781594732393.jpg?v=1754125391","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/honoring-motherhood-prayers-ceremonies-and-blessings-9781594732393","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
