Amma


We Filipinos are used to "Ama" for the Fathers - patriarchy. But today, I woke up and just realized , this Family Sunday , my husband and our 4 boys left me sleeping ,( because I always wish them to give me a silent-day-sleep-from-work ,now they did! ouch! so BE careful what you wish for) "Ama" seems to be a rip off from the word "Amma", one great feminine act. I tend not to be a sexist lexicon here , but I am in deep happy-ness debunking the development of this title. I am happy to feel my husband is an Amma to our sonsss way much more than me.(for another issue)

It only hit me too why my god daughter, Andre , calls my Auntie , Amma. Amma is indeed a GREAT NAME.

Amma
is a supreme creator

Amma,
"grandmother"

Amma,
in Norse mythology , is the ancestress of the being FREE

Amma
means mother in many languages

Amma
is a woman name

For me, Amma is nourishing and nurturing! And yes, I missed Amma , Om Namah Shivaya Swami fr Amma the hugging saint here in Manila because I overslept! And no more sure slots for today. Oh man, is it this bad to pamper my sleep? grr! Trade offs huh!

But hey, SMILE!
