I came across this passage today from a quote that fellow blogger put on her page from a book she was reading. A woman I don't know particulary, and I hope she doesn't mind that I borrowed this from her page...it's so incredibly validating and I had to share...
Gift from the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh (wife of Charles Lindbergh):
"For to be a woman is to have interests & duties; raying out in all directions from the central mother-core, like spokes from the hub of a wheel. The pattern of our lives is essentially circular. We must be open to all points of the compass; husband, children, friends, home, community; stretched out, exposed, sensitive like a spider's web to each breeze that blows, to each call that comes. How difficult for us, then, to acheive balance in the midst of these contradictory tensions, and yet how necessary for the proper function of our lives."
So exactly true...how did she capture all that into words?
