We celebrate Mothers---and all family ties---and how we sometimes must leave home and go on a pilgrimage, to find our real and larger home.
"So much unnecessary suffering comes into the world because so many people will not accept the legitimate suffering that comes from being human." -- Carl Jung
So yes, it can feel like suffering sometimes, to feel disconnected to Spirit, or to have to wait for results that we want so badly. That is what it is to be human, but if we can tune in to our intuition, we can know that our true identity is eternal.
"The surrendering of our false self which we have usually taken for our absolute identity yet is merely a relative identity is the necessary suffering needed to find the pearl of great price that is always hidden inside this lovely but passing shell." -- Richard Rohr
