…and after I received the sweet wishes of my children…
And after I sweetly thanked on the phone the mother that brought me to this world,
I sat in contemplation, looking for the inner child I used to be.
After some effort, that inner child appeared to me.
I caressed the little girl inside of me, who is also celebrating today,
my Mom’s little girl, and I wondered if I love her, if I take care of her
and if I let her play sometimes.
Each time the answer blessed me by making me return to the Beginning.
Not to give birth to another child, but to be reborn, to remember that
I am a Woman and a Mother, as a manifestation of a reality that creates the World.
Because YES! We, women, can create reality!
But we have to seek deep down inside ourselves and accept our inner little girl,
in order to tenderly welcome the Whole World.
