Hey Dan,
It's been fun to read the answers.
My mom has yet to even come and watch me do the work, yet I have done
three constellations about her and me. Each time, she either called
me out-of-the-blue and/or sent me a present "for no reason."
I also was in a constellation workshop where one day, for 6
constellations, I was picked to represent the cold mother. I never
understood my mother, or had so much compassion for her, as I did
after that day.
I considered my 50th my biggest birthday in my life for many reasons.
After having done 2 constellations at that time about my mom, I was
wondering how to celebrate this birthday. I was musing about what
people to spend the day with, and the first person who popped into my
mind was my mom. My mom?!
During that day, my sisters, best friend, niece and mom and I were in
a private room in a restaurant. Every time i looked at her I felt
drawn to her and wanted her. Before the constellations, I was always
not wanting to touch her too much or talk about anything too heavy
because the results were disastrous. I always considered her the cold
mother who never protected me.
But that day I could feel myself so drawn to her. I remember
thinking, I want my mother!!
I went over to her. She stayed seated and i wrapped my arms around
her, me standing. It was the longest she had ever let me touch her. I
did wonder if she was tolerating this or ok with it. Luckily my
sisters took pictures. They show her in bliss. We were in mutual
bliss. It was the most ever that we've been mutually open to each
other.
To this day, if I ever think my mother doesn't love me, I just look
at those pics and know it's not true. Plus when I happen to share
that story in my workshops, people melt and sigh and get tears in
their eyes.
I may think of others, but I'm enjoying just reveling in this one right now.
Graciously,
