I was reminded of an image from a TED conference on taboo's of parenting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12OAr0lt4bk . (If you want a good laugh and enjoy the science of parenting, check it out.) It was the front of a gigantic truck with a licence plate that said LOVE. This is the picture the world paints. So when I read this entry on p. 9, it was reaffirming. I am glad to read that others are honest about the journey that love take as it grows. It helps when trying to decern what's healthy. Sometimes the most accessible information is only powerful because of it's accessibility. Even with knowing this I still find myself with preconcieved notions on life's intricacies.
Although, the love I have as a mother is not like any other love. The transformation I feel in my family and inside of me is the fruit of this. The day will come when things break down. But for now, I can be really grateful that there is a peace that surpasses my own understanding just draped over our little nucleus.
Any thought on the clip?
