Attachment (for all mothers!)

“When I am attached to anything; however much good there may be in it, I will be stiffled.
For whether it be a strong three chord rope or a slender and delicate thread that holds the bird, it matters not; for until the cord be broken, the bird cannot fly.” -- Saint John of the Cross
“The tighter you squeeze, the less you have.”


"Written to all mothers that have to learn the lesson of letting go of our children"
