A comic from my journal about being a mum. With everything going on Ive had so much on my mind lately. But this wonderful moment happened yesterday with my 17 month old son.
The zen of children is that they can pull your attention solidly back into the here and now. With children they can demand that you be present. And in their world you matter. In their world if they are lucky, a hug is something that can be freely given. And you just have to be open to receive it, when it is offered. A gift given from you to them, reflected back to you when you least expect it to happen. That is the gift of a child raised in love.
