The part of woman, mother or wife, that gives to man, son or husband, the gift of freedom...
To pursue the purpose in his heart...
And can bless him even as that purpose takes him out of her embrace...
Is a strong and venerable part indeed.
Because it's a strength that comes not from holding on, but letting go.
And that is one of the hardest things for human beings to do.
Especially when the voice that calls for the holding on is the booming voice of fear.
And Love is the one that whispers, "Let him go".
The Good Mother Necessarily Fails
