[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 650414, member: 17461"] Dreams can heal us, can sometimes teach us to see true things we have forgotten. (Or that we have buried, so we can punish ourselves with brutal efficiency, hoping the gods will change things for our children, I suppose.) It isn't so much about a do-over I don't think, Echo. I think these kinds of dreams are how we forgive ourselves. This is sacred ground Echo, and I am so happy for you. For all of us, really. We do love our children. There was just a thread about that, somewhere. Beloved. Yep. Turns out I had it on my bulletin board. MWM wrote it. I paraphrased it, and here it is: Beloved.... My dang genetic mess...beloved child. That is all I wrote down. But do you see the similarities? If we can stop hating ourselves because of what has happened, we can forgive; we can reclaim love and loving as the vibrant action verbs they were for us, when we were young girls, when our dreams had such power. We have been so afraid, I think, so self-protective through these horrible years. Perhaps you are coming through it, now. That is my fondest wish for you, Echo. :hugs: Cedar [/QUOTE]
