thoughts on being a mother #5

I have many thoughts, through the passing moments of the day, about being a mother...
Some are about the practicalities and logistics
Some are about the things I give up and what I potentially gain in return
Some are about how I, in accepting my parents support and kindness, become like a child again in the process of having my own child
Some are about the future...what lies ahead...
Some are about the past....what I leave behind and how I got here...

And then there are moments that are just about being completely, peacefully, gently, in the moment... moments that are quietly, wordlessly, just about a feeling.
And these moments are simply beautiful.
