[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 644759, member: 17461"] A mother's heart is a stubborn, loving, determined thing. I read a story once about a female pirate. She was a pirate captain, and she had her own ship. Her only son was kidnapped by other pirates. Calling to her across the open sea, they threatened to hang her son from the yardarm. The pirate woman threw up her skirts. Naked beneath, she roared into the wind: "Go ahead! I will make another!" And so, her son was saved, because that was true. By her choice, by her understanding of her own situation relative to her child, there was no vulnerability there to exploit. And because he knew what was true, and because he knew what mattered, and he knew what it was to be vulnerable and how to steer a course by the light of true things, the son grew to be a very great pirate himself. I am not sure how that fits in, but it does. I too have only one son. I think about that story alot. Cedar [/QUOTE]
