Mother Amazing Life Admire

More From Carrie Fisher

She smiled. she knew she was dying. but it did not matter any longer. she had known something which no human words could ever tell and she knew it now. she had been awaiting it and she felt it, as if it had been, as if she had lived it. life had been, if only because she had known it could be, and she felt it now as a hymn without sound, deep under the little whole that dripped red drops into the snow, deeper than that from which the red drops came. a moment or an eternity- did it matter? life, undefeated, existed and could exist. she smiled, her last smile, to so much that had been possible.

I want men to admire me, but that's a trick you learn at school--a movement of the eyes, a tone of voice, a touch of the hand on the shoulder or the head. if they think you admire them, they will admire you because of your good taste, and when they admire you, you have an illusion for a moment that there's something to admire.

...fact was she knew more about them than she knew about herself, having never had the map to discover what she was like. could she sing? (was it nice to hear when she did?) was she pretty? was she a good friend? could she have been a loving mother? a faithful wife? have i got a sister and does she favor me? if my mother knew me would she like me?

She comes to me when she wants to be fed. and after i feed her -- guess what -- she's off to wherever she wants to be in the house, until the next time she gets hungry. she's smart enough to know she can't feed herself. she's actually a very smart cat. she gets loved. she gets adoration. she gets petted. she gets fed. and she doesn't have to do anything for it, which is why i say this cat's taught me more about women, than anything my whole life.

If you set your bar at 'amazing' it's awfully difficult to start. your first paragraph, sketch, formula, sample or concept isn't going to be amazing. your tenth one might not be either. confronted with the gap between your vision of perfect and the reality of what you've created, the easiest path is no path. shrug. admit defeat. hit delete. one more reason to follow someone else and wait for instructions. of course, the only path to amazing runs directly through not-yet-amazing. but not-yet-amazing is a great place to start, because that's where you are.

India was the motherland of our race, and sanskrit the mother of europe's languages: she was the mother of our philosophy; mother, through the arabs, of much of our mathematics; mother, through the buddha, of the ideals embodied in christianity; mother, through the village community, of self-government and democracy. mother india is in many ways the mother of us all.

My family, frankly, they weren't folks who went to church every week. my mother was one of the most spiritual people i knew but she didn't raise me in the church, so i came to my christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of jesus christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that i would want to lead.

If i get the forty additional years statisticians say are likely coming to me, i could fit in at least one, maybe two new lifetimes. sad that only one of those lifetimes can include being the mother of young children.
