[wilted rose]

As I come to terms with the impending death of my bMother I've been giving a great deal of thought to our connection. One of my deepest fears is the disconnect. I came across a quote from a book recently that resognated with me in expressing my innermost feelings. It suggests as an adopted child we miss and yearn for the security and serenity of oneness with the one who gave birth to us. There is a continuum of bonding and hence a profound connection that leaves us with a particular feeling of aloneness. For me, reuniting with my bMother gave me sense of connection much like a circle, it's continuous. I am working on discovering a way of transitioning the physical to emotional, and spiritual. The blessing in all of this is my heart has experienced all three. The reconciling to follow will be the elusive distance between head and heart.
