What decision would you make, if you were handed a brochure?
It's white, with one word, Motherhood. Inside it simply defines the word. Noun. - a female parent; a woman in authority; specifically : the superior of a religious community of women (2) : an old or elderly woman; maternal tenderness or affection.
After reading, is motherhood for you?
How can you describe something that is indescribable? Better yet, a word, that has an infinite amount of possibilities for a true definition.
My motherhood expressed in words.
Amazing. Beautiful. Chaotic. Draining. Entertaining. Forever. Gratifying. Heart Wrenching. Ironic. Joyous. Knowledgeable. Loyal. Mesmerizing. Never ending. Optional. Powerful. Quintessential. Rewarding. Spiritual. Tender. Unbelievable. Vigorous. Xenophobic. Yearning. and ZESTY!
But when I close my eyes and listen to my soul singing motherhood, I hear the laughter of one individual. Curtis. No word will ever be able to describe the true meaning of being his mother.
However, I do wish I could. So, I can share with the world the amazing world that he has created. My world was incomplete before him. I was unaware of this, but now I don't remember what it was like breathing without him.
How can I be mad at the world, when I have him to hold at night? When I have him to kiss during the day? When I have him to teach, to love, and to protect?
Motherhood is the purest form of love.
"The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new." ~Rajneesh
Until next time, Turas math dhut!
eloquent and very well said....being a mother is a gift....but I do believe there are plenty of women out there that do have a mother's heart that for whatever reason never came to fruition...
