So he didn’t wait for Way Makers answer. He was just mesmerized by the colors. He followed the colors and the closer he was toward the sparkles the less he needed his light. He extinguished his light. Then he came to see where all the fire works came from. He seen this beast that had magical power, hypnotized the campers to his sinister bidding. The magician used magic to levitate but all around him was just darkness and corpses. Paul was lost in all the chaos. He was losing his own destination goal. He was going to the grave site where his beloved passed on. But this was not peace he had imagined he was following with his light. He felt confusion, overwhelmed. He took a breath. He didn’t feel his friend next to him. He forgot his friend when we walked towards the fireworks. He ask his friend, where are you? The beast said he left you, but Paul said how can he leave me? He is my way maker. Paul closed his eyes from the fireworks and all dark came on him. Calmness come over him. He said to his friend I was lost in the woods, and didn’t like the path I went on with out your advice. Paul started singing this little light of mine I am going to let it shine. He light his single light then he opened his eyes all he seen was the beauty of the one light and all the chaos and beast was gone. He started to follow the Way Maker with just his small light but calm in peace in his way. He said to his friend the Way Maker, thank you for not leav- ing me in the chaos, and when I got lost. And give me your friendship before I started the journey, so I was not trapped in the fireworks of the damned for long and here we go again. Back to our journey to our destination. The Way Maker gave Paul a warm hug and both shined their lights with the peace in their hearts.

Mother’s Day is a holiday honoring motherhood that is observed in different forms throughout the world. In the U.S. , Mother’s Day 2021 will occur on Sunday, May 9. The American incarnation of Mother’s Day was created by Anna Jarvis in 1908 and became an official U.S. holiday in 1914

President Woodrow Wilson signed a measure officially establishing the 2nd Sunday in May as Mother’s Day. Jarvis would denounce the holiday’s commercialization and spent the latter part of her life trying to remove it from the calendar.

Celebrations of mothers and motherhood can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who held festivals in honor of the mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele, but the clearest modern precedent for Mother’s Day is the early Christian festival known as “ Mothering Sunday.” Once a major tradition in the UK and parts of Europe this celebration fell on the 4th Sunday in Lent and was originally seen as a time when the faithful would return to their “mother church” – the main church in the vicinity of their home- for a spe- cial service.

Over time the Mothering Sunday tradition shifted into a more secular holiday and children would pre- sent their mothers with flowers and other tokens of appreciation. This custom eventually faded in popular- ity before merging with the American Mother’s Day in the 1930s and 1940s.
