Punching the little heart button to “like” your post is not enough. It’s like Miles Davis said- “anyone can play. A note is only 20%. It’s the way that motherf*cker plays the note that makes up the 80%.”
So I’ve ruminated on your post for a couple of weeks.
Three cheers for disrupting a “discriminatory social imperative”! More power to you in broadening what it is to be a nurturing, positive influence on anybody’s offspring. The comparisons of vocation to parenting helps narrow the cultural divide.
The socio- political narrative concerning motherhood has, from the top, become twisted and warped. Example: Mothers of color have too many children. White mothers too few. Jeez!
Your post helps create a wider intersect between being a nurturing, caring person and an agent for educating and developing young (and old!) people’s bodies and minds.
In casting the net a bit further and, decidedly tongue-in-cheek, what has posterity ever done for me?
In this case the posterity is benefiting the bigger world --I am very glad your genes are still in the mix, Chris. Thank you for being in this conversation with us!
