A Call for Our Mothers' Memories
From the land of our births,
From the land of our mothers
We carry with us
Their secrets, their wisdom and their ways.
We carry treasures to share
And so we call out from the highest mountains,
And we call out from the low valleys,
We call out from our homes,
From our families,
From our everyday lives,
From our mothering hearts and from our centered beings,
We call out from the lands of our diaspora,
And from our desire to keep these fires alive.
We call out for our mothers' truths
And we call out to you
To bring to us
Your memories, your mothers' and grandmothers' wisdom, stories and secrets
For beauty, babies and healing.
This is a call for submissions for a compilation of "recipes" for beauty tips, baby care, and herbal and natural healing remedies from the women of Arab countries and cultures.
Please submit your recipes, including specific details on preparation, measurements, storage/expiration dates, cautions, etc. as well as instructions on usage. If you can use both the English and Arabic word for your ingredients that is preferred, but not necessary. Submissions are preferred as text only, in the body of an email message, and not as an attached document.
We also invite contributors/participants in this project to write a small piece (less than 500 words) about their memories in learning or using their recipes, to share stories related to your experiences, or to give some background history or folklore on the recipes or ingredients.
Please include your name, your family's country of origin, and your current location so that we can credit you. (If you prefer that your name not be used, we will publish your piece anonymously.) Also include contact information (preferably email and phone) with your recipe, so that we can get in touch with you if we have questions. In the cases of multiple submissions of a similar recipe, the editors may choose the one that best clarifies its composition and purpose, or may combine two or more for a comprehensive recipe/usage/history/story.
Submissions may be sent to ourmothersmemories@yahoo.com
Deadline for submissions is June 1, 2006.
