Background Image
Motherhood is the greatest potential influence either for good or ill in human life. the mother's image is the first that stamps itself on the unwritten page of the young child's mind. it is her caress that first awakens a sense of security; her kiss, the first realization of affection; her sympathy and tenderness, the first assurance that there is love in the world.

Live in the wisdom of accepted tenderness. tenderness awakens within the security of knowing we are thoroughly and sincerely liked by someone... scripture suggests that the essence of the divine nature is compassion and that the heart of god is defined by tenderness.
Heart Compassion Essence
Motherhood involves a special communion with the mystery of life, as it develops in the mother's womb. the mother is filled with wonder at this mystery of life, and 'understands' with unique intuition what is happening inside her. in the light of the 'beginning', the mother accepts and loves as a person the child she is carrying in her womb. this unique contact with the new human being developing within her gives rise to an attitude towards human beings - not only towards her own child, but every human being - which profoundly marks the woman's personality.

Mother, i am young. mother, i am just eighteen. i am strong. i will work hard, mother. but i do not want this child to grow up just to work hard. what must i do, mother, what must i do to make a different world for her? how do i start?" "the secret lies in the reading and the writing. you are able to read. every day you must read one page from some good book to your child. every day this must be until the child learns to read. then she must read every day, i know this is the secret

Every act of motherhood contains a dual intent, as the mother holds the child close and prepares it to move way from her, as she supports the child and stands it firmly on its own feet, and as she guards it against danger and sends it out across the yard, down by the stream, and across the traffic-crowded highway. unless a mother can do both - gather her child close and turn her child out toward the world - she will fail in her purpose.

The noblest calling in the world is motherhood. true motherhood is the most beautiful of all arts, the greatest of all professions. she who can paint a masterpiece, or who can write a book that will influence millions, deserve the plaudits and admiration of mankind; but she who rears successfully a family of healthy, beautiful sons and daughters whose immortal souls will exert influence throughout the ages long after paintings shall have faded, and books and statues shall have decayed or been destroyed, deserves the highest honor that man can give, and the choicest blessings of god.

And i ask myself what it is about me that makes this wonderful, beautiful woman return. is it because i'm pathetic, helpless in my current state, completely dependent on her? or is it my sense of humour, my willingness to tease her, to joke my way into painful, secret places? do i help her understand herself? do i make her happy? do i do something for her that her husband and son can't do? has she fallen in love with me? as the days pass and i continue to heal, my body knitting itself back together, i begin to allow myself to think that she has.
