But she wouldn't. I knew that already. My mother and I had an understanding: we worked together to be as much in control of our shared world as possible. I was suposed to be her other half, carrying my share of the weight. In the last few weeks, I'd tried to shed it, and doing so sent everything off kilter. So of course she would pull me tighter, keeping me in my place, because doing so meant she would always be sure, somehow, of her own.

The Infinite Self cannot be insecure.

Find a way of eagerly anticipating future changes, while at the same time you are in love and satisfied with who, what, where and how you be.
