You are conceived

The mother and child bond is the first you make and is the most special of all ties. Already you begin a relationship based on familiarity, warmth, sound and smell. You get to know her before she gets to know you. The time you dwell within this safe house that is the womb is the time you first know love and feel loved.

This is when you learn to trust someone for the first time and instinctively know she will not let you down. You feel a gentle hand touch you for the first time as she strokes her skin occasionally reassuring you, you are wanted. Emotions are felt by her that transcend to you; excitement, happiness, surprise and fear.

You are born

The umbilical cord has been cut but the attachment you have formed with the woman carrying and protecting you for months has remained and is strong. You hear her gentle voice, no longer a muffled sound, clear and sweet you are comforted. She kisses you, this is your first kiss, tender and without conditions.

Your button nose is aroused by her scent. You follow with your eyes as the scent moves from room to room but will never leave you. She holds you close to her chest where you nestle and curl up like a contented kitten. You hear beats per minute that pleasantly soothe you; this is the first time you hear the echo of a heart bursting with love.

You grow

She helps you to become the person you choose to be. You will hear but not always listen, she will look at you in a way that only you will understand. She is a mother and a woman. There may be times when the two are in conflict with each other, a tug of emotions and a battle to do the right thing for both. She will wound herself and you will be the casualty but still the bond never breaks. The scent is still strong.

You say goodbye

She didn’t explain how to do this, how you feel this, how you cope with this and how you live without the bond now severed. You reach out but you can’t feel her, you longingly search every corner for the sweet familiar scent that reminded you she was present. There is a hole in your heart that in that moment seems impossible to fill. But she gave you hope; the first person to give you hope.

Mistakes and heartache are inevitable when the one that guides you has left. She can no longer show you the way in her physical form which is confusing and can leave you feeling alone in this world. You are not alone. She is there in every mirror you look into, in every step you take and in every decision you make. A mother will nurture and protect you but she will also have taught you some valuable lessons too; all you have to do is remember them. She was your teacher, your first teacher.

Breathe the life she breathed into you, it isn’t easy and you will gasp for air more than once but she believed in you then and she believes in you now; she believed in you first.

Super Hero Or Super Human? The Role We Play

March 23, 2014February 10, 2021 shebfierce

For as long as I can remember, I have been mesmerized by the silver screen. For me, films are not just a way to fill a couple of hours before I go to bed or watch because Sunday is a rain filled wash out; I’m not complaining, a good film somehow shuts out the dark and gloomy weather better than any double glazed window. Film genres are endless and the smallest idea transformed on the big screen will live forever.

The Super Hero knows all about living forever and uses his or her special powers to fight their adversary saving a world that could have been doomed! Great if you have an imagination as wonderful as the writers of these fantastical scripts and makers of these blockbusters. However, there is something misleading about Super Hero’s, sorry to disappoint but it’s highly likely that the powers they own have been made up for your enjoyment only, they don’t really exist but Super Human’s do.

Indiana Jones played by Harrison Ford, in my opinion, epitomizes the Super Human. He doesn’t wear a cape flying from one damsel in distress to another, no extra sensory perceptions to hear the cries of people trapped in a burning building and he doesn’t turn green or quadruple in size when he is enraged. The one thing Indie does have is strength, I’m not speaking of the strength that can lift a car with one hand but an inner strength that all believers have.

This strength comes from will alone and the knowledge that some things are worth fighting for. No one really wants to fight as this implies struggle and inevitable confrontation with forces that hold you back or stand in the way of your dreams and visions; but what about the good fight? For the greater good. My interpretation of the greater good is doing what’s right for everyone including yourself; or at least something that won’t cause damage or trauma.

This notion and action is not about power but empowering yourself and those around you. No twisting of arms or tactical games, no mind altering substances to give you that momentary edge or hide-away and no guilty conscience to bare. If what you wish for isn’t hurtful to anyone there is no reason why you shouldn’t, at your own pace, try to achieve it. This strength is the most respected, adored, admired and commended by anyone watching your biographical story…an epic in the making.
