a message from my mother

Shortly after she died I found a particular letter among her things.
It was a proposal to a magazine to write a series of articles on her experiences
living in community with a few other poor single mothers.
Sadly this period was not long and I remember none of it.
I was three when she wrote this. It never really saw the light of day.
I feel it could be the most important message for our time

Our common bond is powerful.
When we let it, our strength flows out of us
and around each other in a wonderful stream...
Without our interdependence,
we would be miserable indeed.
~ my mom
