wise words

mum read this in the tresillian guide's book
'how to stay sane in your baby's first year'
and she reckons it speaks to her:

"... one never quite 'arrives' as a parent,
in an absolute sense.
It is one of life's great explorations,
with pots of gold dotted along a path
for which the map is sometimes... problematic."

(in Geraldine Doogue's foreword)
