When I read that passage, I couldn’t believe the effect it had on me. I mean… well, you know what I mean.

 

For a man about 80 (or a woman, or a person of any age) to be so connected to his feelings, and to express them the way he did – so simply, and with the kind of inner honesty that very few people would allow themselves to feel -- is incredible.

 

His mother died about 200 years ago. Those words were written over 100 years ago.

 

And look how he’s touched us, and helped us. Across time.

 

Thank you, Leo. You're an honorary BB! :)

Steve, my Dad is a "senior citizen". He had minor surgery last year and as I was driving him home, he wistfully mentioned how much he missed my grandmother and how she would've taken care of him! That sentiment hit me hard. My Mom passed way too soon, and I've never missed and needed her more than I do now!  :'( :'( :'(  It doesn't matter what your age, we're all essentially the same inside, we all need our Moms!

 

Okay, enough of that ... I'm off to Flute's wide, open arms again!  :therethere:

http://www.verybestquotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/personal-growth-quote-of-the-day-The-only-journey-is-the-journey-within..png

 

Is this the real purpose of life?

 

To grow, to find oneself, to accept and appreciate oneself?

 

Why is it so difficult?

 

Why does it take so long?

 

Is it only through suffering that real growth can take place?

 

In pensive mood now.

 

I suppose when life is going smoothly, we stagnate!!

 

The more bumps in the road the better as long as we manage to stay in the driving seat.

I’ve had this book (a biography of Leo Tolstoy) sitting around my house for many years, and picked it up the other day.

 

Earlier today, I read that his mother died when he was about 2, and that several years before his death (in his 80s) he wrote these:

 

"I walk in the garden and I think of my mother, of Maman; I do not remember her, but she has always been an ideal of saintliness for me. I have never heard a single disparaging remark about her."

 

 

"Felt dull and sad all day. Toward evening, the mood changed into a desire for caresses, for tenderness. I wanted, as when I was a child, to nestle against some tender and compassionate being and weep with love and be consoled ... become a tiny boy, close to his mother, the way I imagine her. Yes, yes, my Maman, whom I was never able to call that because I did not know how to talk when she died. She is my highest image of love – not cold, divine love, but warm, earthly love, maternal....Maman, hold me, baby me! ...All that is madness, but it is all true."

 

 

Quite a thing...

WOW STEVE,

LUCKY YOU FOR HAVING THIS BOOK AND DECIDING TO PICK IT UP, AND LUCKY US THAT YOU HAVE IT AND FOUND THESE QUOTES AND DECIDED TO SHARE THEM WITH US.

 

A MOTHER'S LOVE...SOMETHING WE ALL WANT AND NEED.

 

AS A MOTHER...MY LOVE IS SOMETHING I LONG TO GIVE, AND AM SO GRATEFUL THAT I HAVE 2 DAUGHTERS 2 LAVISH IT ON.

 

AS OF LATE THE CHILD THAT STILL REZIDES DEEP INSIDE OF ME...LONGS FOR THE COMFORTING LOVE THAT ONLY A MOTHER CAN BRING.

images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSy_hXdB2HKF3a9cBqu5lxkA90MEbKGBN2fkdBSAuo9l5FzA-z_

 

WE "ALL" WANT LOVE...SADLY, SOME OF US DO NOT HAVE MOTHERS TO GIVE IT TO US.....SO, FOR THOSE WHO NEED SOME MOTHERLY LOVE ON THIS DAY....CONSIDER YOURSELVES WRAPED GENTELY IN MY ARMS, AND DRAWN LOVINGLY TO MY CHEST, HEAD TO MY HEART. I AM NOW SQUEZZING YOU GENTELY AND STROKING YOUR HEAD AND SAYING "I LOVE YOU" AND YOU WILL BE OKAY!

LOVE TO YOU ALL,

FLUTER :smitten:

 

Tears rolling down my cheeks.  :'( :'(  That is so very powerful and moving.  No matter what age we are, we all have times where we so long for that unconditional maternal love, comforting and nurturing! 

 

Thanks for such heartwarming words, Fluter, I am snuggling in your arms right now, consider me your third child!  :hug::smitten:

I recently received an email from my 22 yr old son, who is away at college. He was a surly, difficult teen, but turned into a wonderful man. He wrote "I always felt loved by you and dad, unconditionally, all my life... Always felt that you were there for me."  You dont know how much that meant to me! That was exactly what I hoped to give to my son, that feeling, something I didnt feel from my mother, even though she did her best. Im so very glad that he told me now. I needed to hear it.  :smitten:
