Loving my children is not a choice. It is a deep abiding connection that stretches "To infinity and beyond."
Even if relationships are strained, a mother cannot sever the tie that binds her to this unique soul in her life.
I have had extraordinary experiences with my own mother, my husband's mother and my children over the course of a lifetime.
When they occur it feels natural and not extraordinary at all. A voice. A dream. A sound. There are no gold stars highlighting these things. They are as natural as breathing, except they involve two people far apart in body, if not in spirit.
Paying attention is the only trick.
Learning to trust my body's perceptions took a while, because even if I were wrong, I wouldn't want to take the chance I didn't act correctly.
