As a mother. It’s an easy expression to use. It’d roll off the tongue nicely, if I had children. But I don’t. If I did, I imagine I would probably use it from time to time. I wonder why I would use it, though. I wonder what the real reason would be, underneath it all, when I could just as easily start a sentence without it.
This is a beautiful meditation on the use of this phrase, this pre-fix, that can be so troubling and feel so pointed. Thank you for your careful and tender considerations x
Henri, you took me on a rhythmic journey through your thoughts, lulled by the repetition and the questions. I found this such an elegant piece, not trying to have all the answers, a meditation with its mantra 'as a mother'. I feel grateful to have read it, thank you.
