What more can vividly portray a mother than a woman with a child? Mother and child: isa sa pinakamagandang portrait subjects – sa painting, sculpture, photography… maski sa cross stitch.
Natural na yata sa mas nakararaming mga anak na ituring ang kani-kanilang ina bilang pinakadakilang nanay sa buong mundo.
“You’re the greatest mom in the world!”
“Mama, you are the best!”
“Wala kang katulad, Inay!”
But partiality aside, sino kaya ang naging pinakahuwarang ina (at babae) sa lahat (sa buong mundo)?
Since last May 3, ilang beses na pinalabas uli sa Star Movies sa cable TV ang “Terminator” trilogy. It reminded me of Sarah Connor, the mother of John Connor, future leader of those who survived the nuclear holocaust in their fight against the ‘machines’ – thus saving humankind from total extinction. Pero fiction lang ito… and am not endorsing the movie here, sinampol ko lang.
How about a true story? A real-life ‘man’ who is the only capable of saving every WILLING human creature from eternal damnation? Considering this, the greatest woman would be her mother. I am referring to Mary, the mother of Jesus.
Klaro ang pagkakasulat ko ha? – the ‘mother of Jesus’ – NOT ‘the Mother of god.’
