Maternal instinct

Have you ever thought because when you feel down, the first person you think about is your mother? It
may be that, in complex and painful situations, in which it is not possible to find consistent solutions, the
first thing we want is to feel embraced and protected by our mother.

Even when we have made mistakes and feel guilty and full of regrets, the need for protection that only
the hands of our mother can offer us comes to our minds.

Whenever I have had a problem in my life, my mother has been with me and has listened to me in
silence and then, after a prudential moment, she has always known how to choose the right words that
convey calm and inner peace. She has the subtlety so that I can open my feelings and with a calm voice
makes it possible for my sufferings to reduce their intensity and observe life more optimistically.

Of course, I feel like a child again when I am next to her and just think that she represents the love that
someone divine feels for us.
