Just read your wonderful post. I love the...Lindsay! Just read your wonderful post. I love the softness of your tone, the honesty--"like butter left at room temperature".<br /><br />I wonder about maturation (of which motherhood forms a part, it seems, at least in your case). If maturation dissolves, along with some youthful cleverness, some of youth's ego defenses--the striving after cleverness--what does it leave intact? More, what is in us that might function even better after a bit of softening? Will we learn to see simplicity within things? Will we learn, finally, to accept some of those squishy truths--"Love never fails" and all that--that always sounded too stupid to satisfy us?<br /><br />Or will we just go on making metaphors, artful sentences, as best as we can--though we feel ourselves caught up in the flow of swifter droplets?Carlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433737900615794405.post-33970234941165903242020-12-06T11:44:19.145-08:002020-12-06T11:44:19.145-08:00brilliant. you captured it. definitely sharing wit...brilliant. you captured it. definitely sharing with the many new moms I know!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01699117849242961098noreply@blogger.com
