S.M. Hutchens writing about his mother for Touchstone Magazine:
While our father formed us essentially by disturbing us and inviting us to disturb him, Mother did the same by being a reliably sympathetic presence, an unfailingly generous medium of life. Mother was the earth in which we were anchored and fed, and our father was the husbandman who trained and pruned the plant and fitted it to deal with pests — both are necessary for its health.

I look for Gladsome Lights every day. Often I see in a new way things I have thought about, understood, even experienced. Today’s reflection is true for me, though I never found the words until now. Thank you, G.J.
