Recently, I found a quote which is quite appropriate for this summer with Ellie on her own in the UK. For you mothers out there, here goes...
"I think I must let go. Must fear not, must be quiet so that my children can hear the Sound of Creation and dance the dance that is in them." ---Russell Hoban
Bill claims I need to chew this up and swallow it. Isn't he poetic? But, he is right. I can just imagine the Sound of Creation radiating through my fingers and toes when I swallow the quote and release the fear. I have not learned the lesson of letting go of my children, my youngest in particular. Austin and Corinna have proved to be quite capable adults out in the world. Now it's Ellie's turn and I must allow her to find her way and DANCE!
