So beautiful. It touches something really deep and important and visceral in my gut and heart. I want to think so much more about it and the prompts, but the thing that comes up for me immediately I wanted to share is the idea of Sicilians still feeling nourishment and connection to an angry mother. To a mother that don't take no shit but is still so deeply nourishing. And the fear felt by others, the fear of the anger and power. And how there are parts of both in me. Parts that feel more nourished by the mother that is angry and powerful and whole than by one that is cut off from all but a safe and quiet attendance. And parts that are so afraid of the anger and power in her and myself and others.
I think it's so potent to note that what nourishes can also be angry. And how mother's are angry. And also nourishing. Gentle and also volcanic. How can there not be a spectrum of it all? XO LOVE YOU.
