On the day Maya would turn sixty, I turn to her favourite passage. She herself was called by many different names, but to me she was just my mother. Today I celebrate her deeply abiding, wholly unconditional, exceptionally forgiving love. Her smile meant home.

you will know that you have always
been in the center of wisdom.
As you probe deeper into who you really are,
with your lightedness and your confusion,
with your angers, longings and distortions,
you will find the true living God.
Then you will say:
"I have known you all my life
and I have called you by many different names.
I have called you mother and father and child.
I have called you lover.
I have called you sun and flowers.
I have called you my heart.
But I never, until this moment,
called you Myself."
