To be with a mother is different from to be with a woman who feels like a mother.
There is this beautiful essence that I discovered from the box of my perspectives. The essence of a very familiar set of human bonds that can be reflected in multiple people.
We all have a primary set of social circles and family set ups as we’re familiar with the ecosystem, when we live in this space, we meet people who would carry the same soul and essence in them, which can be reflected and experienced.
To be with a mother is different from to be with a woman who feels like a mother. That is a very special place to be in, and it is vulnerable at its very origin, yet you don’t really label that relationship as motherhood.
There is certainly a huge portion of motherhood in it, but then there is this part of being a stranger that reflects upon the person, which exactly makes the bond very special.
The playfulness becomes organic, the liberty and authority will always have a structure to it and most importantly, separation is always at the edge of every dawn.
There will be tears. Things will never be the same again.
This spiritual essence, if I may call it, is rare and precious and I’m thirsty to discover them in the people I meet.
It is not a conscious pursuit, but I believe that life will surprise me with bonds like brotherhood, sisterhood, friendship, etc they’re all what makes life, diverse, vulnerable and complex.

2 个月Oh! I wholeheartedly agree with this perspective, but I feel that, often, these deep and rare connections seem to be more celebrated or cherished in the male experience. It can sometimes feel like a blessing, isn't it? Or a privilege for men. And as a woman, Urghh! I find myself envious of that.
