Mother Wounds

Every time you find yourself remembering what wasn’t there.

Every time you have a moment of longing for all that you wished she could be.

Lean all the way into it, then bring yourself back.

Grab a hold of it, that feeling of love and security, with the same desperation that you would have had it been there back then.

Dive into what you wished it could have been, then open your eyes to see that now it is.

The feelings are within you.

If you can imagine it, then it is already there.

The source may not be what you’d hoped for, but it’s a gift just the same.

To all of the sons and daughters who are in pain today, give yourself the mother that you wanted her to be.
