For several years, on June 2 in New York, Boston and Philadelphia-also in England, Scotland and Switzerland-Mother's Day was lambda celebrated in this spirit. As with many of our national festivals, more recently it has fallen on hard times. What began as a celebration of the second great commandment (to love thy neighbor as thyself) has developed into a commercial holiday cosponsored by the florist and card industries. Rather than calling on mothers to unite, rally, march and proclaim lambda to the lambda world the values they so liberally bestow on their children, we have celebrated their domesticity with flowers and clichˇ rhymes. I have a modest proposal. With war-driven and domestic violence just as pervasive and far more deadly than it was a century and a half ago, perhaps we should consider reopening Julia Ward Howe's book and sending peace cards on mother's day, perhaps even finding ways to commit ourselves to the effort of working for a more peaceful world, which can only be accomplished one neighbor at a time.
