I found myself looking at girls in the way older women used to look at me long ago, with a mix of charm and astonishment at the daring spirit.
I was not always charmed; somewhere it was painful.
When you are young, you believe that you will always be free. That makes you vulnerable, but you don’t know that because you are clueless at the time. That makes the spirit of the young also so powerful. We should cherish that in our girls and boys.
But it was not always like this. Once I was feeling pain when looking at the young and the realization hit me like a wall of bricks. It was after I gave birth to my daughter and after months of pregnancy, devastating birth and weeks in hospitals I had a few hours to do something in the city.
It was one of those moments that suddenly moved in slow motion. A young woman walked past me carrying a big bag with low cut jeans, talking loudly on her mobile phone.
I had a flash of my exciting life before the world fell on my head. A little girl voice inside my head said:” I used to be like that”. And I can tell you now that she meant care free, confident, happily clueless.
Somehow my body, my life changed and I was not really prepared. I looked at the mirror thinking; how come nobody told me to say goodbye to my old and lovely belly button?
We know that the body is changing. Actually, every day the body is changing, shifting, transforming, but still, we are shocked when the bra size is again wrong.
My daughter’s body and challenged health, and my changing body are giving me an opportunity to keep in contact with it as it is. And sometimes that is actually amazing.
Helping my elderly mother or grandmother is not easy, but it is also so precious.
The changing body of our beloved, our aging friend, our little boy who is becoming a young man: again an opportunity to practice acceptance, tenderness, and love.
