It is the season of mother and child. I like this one by Picasso as the child is a bit older. Holding our children does not end when they are no longer babies. The holding has only just begun at that stage. We need to hold on to our children for many years. As our hearts are raw with the untimely ripping away of young children from their parents, remember to hold one another close these days. Continue to give your children the physical holding that they so need. We all need to inhabit all of our being: body, mind and spirit. It is in the physical contact and holding that we can fully inhabit our selves. Holding can take different forms as our kids get older. Try those nightly foot and back massages. Securely place your hands on your kid's shoulders in affirmation. Firmly but tenderly give holding touch. Continue those surrounding hugs. Confidence, love and security that will last forever are communicated as we hold on to our kids. Hold on.
