Mom, mother, mama..madre...it is an impossible role to define. If I say female, trans and non-binary people may wonder if they are included (YES! You absolutely are); it would also exclude single dads who fill the mother role. Using birth or genetics excludes foster, adoptive and other people who fill the role. A mother could be your best friend's mom, aunt, or elder.

Pop quiz: What can humans do that AI cannot? *cue Jeopardy music*. I promise this is not a trick question. OK, time is up: the answer is: be imperfect. Zentangle art is AI proof. Minor imperfections (not mistakes!) like uneven lines, mistrokes and other "oppsies" are something only people can do. When you look at a tile, you can see those variations that add texture to the tile.

Here in Ontario, Canada it is Family Day. I dislike overused similes, so I will forgo the (obvious) analogy of a Zentangle Tile to a family. Family should symbolize support, encouragement and closeness. However, it has become so overused by (most often) toxic companies, that many consider this phrase a red flag. It is what family should be. I am spending today with my biological family, but as I tangle I am grateful for my supportive family of Tanglers and CZTs.
