mothers and daughters

she laughs frequently, loves to engage people, but when she is quiet, her face looks like it's in a scowl.

that furrowed little brow is one of concern (of anxiety?)
something bigger than she can articulate.
......she can only articulate about ten words

what do her thoughts look like....
without words?
what is that weight that she carries?

if i knew i would probably be able to fall asleep at night without running my fingers along my own brow - a physical cue to release the tension there.

maybe its coincidence,
perhaps its uniquely female,
or it could just be that without warning or choice, that is what she has inherited from me

once you do not have the need to release the tensions rubbing your brow, she will not carry any weight.

Its amazing how much little ones learn from their parents- if you want them to or not. Don't think of it as worry but as being intent.
