My mother was widely loved, and rightly so – and widely regarded as too sweet for words. Well, she had them buffaloed. Any woman who could out-stubborn a dachshund deserved to be accorded the wary and respectful affection the dachshund gave her. ↗

She also understood there was a hole in her heart where her son should be, that she was a wicked, selfish woman for wishing him back. ↗

When the rebel in her touched the rebel in him, and the rebel in him touched the rebel in her, their fears incinerated. When his rebel sperm penetrated her rebel egg, that mysterious shimmer burst forth a blinding light, and a calcium wave signaled the information everywhere it could go. It has turned her into a visionary and turned him into a warrior - on a mission to save M. Earth, in the name of love. ↗

Our heart becomes on fire when we see figures such as Mother Theresa, Jesus, Buddha,Gandhi and Martin Luther king Jr. These people are the reflection of what we are, unstained, and unaltered, we see the divine in these people, they speak directly to our soul, because they reflect the inner light we have within, these people represent the divine essence of Love, service, sacrifice, and hope. ↗

I could not get my fill of looking. There should be a song for women to sing at this moment or a prayer to recite. But perhaps there is none because there are no words strong enough to name that moment. ↗

A mother who would stop at nothing for her child is dangerous woman when crossed. ↗

It's just that the thing you never understand about being a mother, until you are one, is that it is not the grown man - the galumphing, unshaven, stinking, opinionated off-spring - you see before you, with his parking tickets and unpolished shoes and complicated love life. You see all the people he has ever been all rolled up into one. I look at him and see the baby I held in my arms, dewing besotted, unable to believe that I'd created another human being. I see the toddler, reaching for my hand, the schoolboy weeping tears of fury after being bullied  by some other child. I saw the vulnerabilities, the love, the history. ↗
