reading "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott & your post this morning meshes beautifully with these thoughts from p104- "... I used to think that paired opposites were a given, that love was the opposite of hate, right the opposite of wrong. But now I think we sometimes buy into these concepts because it is so much easier to embrace absolutes than to suffer reality. I don't think anything is the opposite of love. Reality is unforgivingly complex."
Judy, thanks for swinging by at mine and saying kind things. I often swing by yours, too, and while i may not always comment, I am always grateful for what you post

Bird by Bird is one of my favourite books about creativity and spirituality. Thank you for this beautiful quote from it, Mo.
Nothing is the opposite of love. xo

Or perhaps just ask 'what has been' with no judgement attached! Maternal love so beautifully stitched in this piece is just like that....pure love.
