I imagine you wise
A good mother
When the time is right
Comfortable in your own skin
Learning to laugh at yourself
It took me a lot of years to learn that
Why should I expect you
To learn it sooner?
My daughter
Your wisdom emerges
from the depths
Of your healing soul.
You will be
The mother of love
comfortable and comforting
Your sweet laughter
Lighting up the night sky.
Taking my own advice on positive thinking, I wrote this for my daughter who is 22 and searching for her own path.

I think it is truly healing to look at another– particularly one we are close to and about whome we know all of their habits and idiosyncracies– and to see the many gifts within that person that will be given to the world… We see ourselves anew in this process also– our “selves” with whom we are most familiar!

Thank you, Michael. You have such direct insight! Shortly after encouraging another mother to balance her worries about her young son with imagining him healthy and strong, I realized I needed to do the same with my worries about my daughter. It has been healing.
