The Beautiful Scar
I light up some incense as I offer to my beloved mother. Placing a plate of assorted fruits on the left, and a vase of flowers on the right side of her alter. Today marks ten years since she left this world. The day that reminds me deeply of the devotion of a mother's eternal love. My mother was a kind and humble human being. She was an aspiration for many people and that significantly includes me, her only daughter. As I sit facing her alter, just high enough to clearly observe her image. I remember that very moment, twenty years ago, that made me realize and changed the way I perceive my life, and most importantly the way I perceive my dear Mother.
