Volume 132: Mother’s Day - May 9, 2021
Hello fellow Accomplice!
The shadow of a Mom runs long and wide but leaves space for a heart’s shadow to stand beside her. Moms have room for Love galore, and this week’s Listening was devoted to memoirs, poetry, a novel all honoring mothers as we experience them in their many guises, the many roles they play in our lives.
Some are awesome, some are misses. But they all attempted to capture Mother Love.
May you find something to your liking!

Many MANY reasons to celebrate this week!
A Cassandra Campbell performance, an homage to Jewish Heritage Month, further exploration for Asian Heritage Month... AND the Animals Pick for the week!
The fifth, not seen, shall be noted simply something I’ve been DYING to get to!

Sometimes Moms just need to relax and enjoy Family and Prey!
Hug your mom today, or send prayers to wherever you think she might be (Hint: looking over your shoulder, her heart a hairsbreadth away).
Happy Mother’s Day y’all and?
I’ll see you next Sunday!
