Motherhood is an aching vulnerability
Have you ever? In your wildest? Ever imagined? Such a wonder.
Motherhood is an aching vulnerability, all of life daring me daily to be here. See. Feel. Know this fleeting goodness.
From Celtic Daily Prayer, the midday blessing:
“Let nothing disturb thee,
nothing affright thee;
all things are passing,
God never changeth!
Patient endurance attaineth to all things;
who God possesseth
in nothing is wanting;
alone God sufficeth.”
Let it be so.
