A Gift from the Sea

Description

Eternally woman spills herself away In driblets to the thirsty She is the eternal nourisher of Children of men And society Her time, her energy, and Her creativeness Are drained at any chance And like the eternal mother that she is, She must allow herself the quiet, The peace, and the time to let The pitcher fill up And like the ocean, she must find a balance, a rythmn between Giving and solitude, between Retreat and return. · Excerpts by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
