run away...
escape...
return to the sea...
a woman abandons herself to motherhood... (or a career or a lover or a cause - a woman instinctively mothers)
a mother abandons her child for reasons one cannot judge... (abandonment can be physical or emotional)
a woman must learn to mother herself, her Self...
in between the meals, the laundry, the lessons, the questions, the laughter, the hugs, the gratitude, the doubt, the joy...
I carve out a few minutes in the day to stretch, breathe and sit in silence...
I discover the blessings...in blue...
