At the moment, so much of mothering feels like trying to fill the gap between my knowledge and intuition of what is best or “right” thing to do, and mustering the energy and will to actually practice it day in day out with all the care and consistency that raising a human requires.
It is the biggest learning curve I’ve ever known and yet there is a gentleness to it, a forgiveness and a softness to it. That which comes with the mundane and the repetitive nature of it all- knowing that each day is new and there is always a new chance to try again. The unconditional love that comes from a baby, always with a look that reminds me:
“Mama, I fully trust in you
It’s ok if you don’t always get it right, I chose you because you are the best mother for me.
We are learning and growing together,
have grace”
