A Mother’s Day Tribute: The Name for God, the First Superhero

Posted in UncategorizedTagged 8 Comments

“Mothers are the name for God on the lips and hearts of children.” That line isn’t just poetic—it’s the truth.

Before we understand anything else in this world, we know our mothers. Her face is our first home. Her voice, our first comfort. Her love, our first certainty. She doesn’t just raise us—she forms us. Her strength becomes our foundation. Her belief becomes our courage.

And let’s be honest: mothers were the original superheroes.

Before capes and comic books, there was Mom—lifting more than her share, healing wounds with a kiss, seeing through lies with a glance, fighting invisible battles no one else even noticed. No spotlight. No superpowers. Just relentless love and impossible strength.

She doesn’t fly, but she shows up—every time. She doesn’t have laser vision, but somehow always knows. She doesn’t wear armor, but she protects like no one else can.

A mother’s love is not small. It’s not easy. It’s built on sacrifice, on sleepless nights, on showing up tired and still giving her best. It’s fierce. It’s patient. It’s unshakable.

To every kind of mom—birth moms, adoptive moms, grandmothers, stepmoms, chosen moms—we see you. We thank you. Not just for what you’ve done, but for who you are.

Today, we honor you. Because you were our first home. Our first hero. And yes, the name for God on our lips when we didn’t have words for anything else.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Into the Khanverse: Rebuilding, Reshaping, and Saying Thanks

A vintage typewriter on a cluttered desk, exploding into birds as books tower around it—chaos and creativity in motion.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

As April wraps up, I just want to say: thank you.

This past month has been one of the best yet for the blog — new readers discovering the space, longtime followers sticking around and engaging more than ever. Your support, feedback, and energy mean a lot.

What’s Changing Moving Forward
I want to keep the momentum going and make things even better. Here’s what’s coming:

  • New Posting Schedule: I’ll be posting regularly to keep things consistent.
  • Expanded Topics: While writing stays front and center, I’ll add [new topics, if any, time travel].
  • Reader Spotlights: Once a month, I’ll feature a reader’s story, feedback, or question to keep the conversation two-way.

The Bigger Picture: Rebuilding the Khanverse
2025 is my year to rebuild and organize my online world. Over time, I’ve created a lot, and it’s gotten a little chaotic. My PTSD and OCD aren’t exactly helping, so it’s time to bring some order to the madness.

And yeah — I know “the Khanverse” sounds pretentious and extra. But if you’ve been reading me for a while, you already know… sometimes I’m both.

I’ve collected several domain names over the years (and kept paying for them), and it’s time to actually use them. Some content from this blog will shift to new homes:

  • The Howlin’ Inkwell: Home for The Knucklehead Report, From the Stoop, and other essays.
  • House of Tunage: Everything music-related — including responses to musical challenges. (If you spot a strange new face in your challenge, it’s probably me.)
  • Memoirs of Madness: A space for creative writing — fiction, poetry, prose, and writing challenge responses. Some visual art will eventually move to another site, but I’ll share my favorites here, like Wordless Wednesday.

I’m excited — and honestly relieved — to start untangling the web I’ve built. Thanks again for sticking with me through this ride. I think it’s going to make everything better for all of us.

See you soon,
Mangus
