A quote

"Breastfeeding is an unsentimental metaphor for how love works, in a way. You don't decide how much or how deeply to love - you respond to the beloved and give with joy exactly as much as they want." Marni Jackson in her book "The Mother Zone."

That is very beautiful but it makes me sad to be on the outside looking in.

You know, this is the second time I've heard someone describe love with the metaphor of breast-feeding. You're both very special women; thanks for sharing.
