Mother

My counselor once told me - you will never find your Mother in a flesh and blood person.  I had been hoping I could expect my partner of many years to fill that role......but I know that's not fair.  I'm not everything to him - how can he be to me?

She told me - you may find your Mother in a tree or in a place...not trivially - like a lame substitute....but for real.  The real Mom who holds and says OK...you're here...and you are mine.

Shortly after that - I found her in a grove of trees.

I found her in the White Place:
Nurturing is a real thing.
