Just got back from my track walk, in the fields muddy up to my thighs, my white dog turned black, both of us soaked in the marshes, and we saw 14 deers and one rabbit.

I consider this a successful morning. : )

And I agree Amber, we are on the same /similar track, I did not mean first step as not part of the always beyond, or as smtg we need to leave behind. Our progress, especially in feminine topics, maybe all topics are never hierarchical, I just meant that what I see is that some/most women first encounter the Mother in the form of their personal mother and it is one first, yet ongoing work to heal that relationship (however good it is) and through that healing more and more layers (to be healed) come up to the surface like peels of an onion.

And as far as mothering, as in bringing, and anchoring life on earth at a time of this culture we live in is also one very important aspect, and smtg where distorted aspects of the patriarchal have made quite a bit of damage.

Oh. Sorry, I feel spaced out, it shows in my wording, sorry if I'm not precisely expressing, but spring air and space here has this effect on me, which now I accept blissfully - thankfully.

Love to you all!
