Hi Pilgrim - I hear a mother's voice and all the tensions that come with a part of you struggling to become itself...

Yes, I was thinking that. Mother's loss when children go on to live, study or work in another country, or city when they move out. But also a sense of exploring where you stand in a relationship. Especially after it's gone which is about finding the inner balance when outside factors change. Thank you Opti!

I can feel the transition to a more carefree life, Pilgrim. It's comforting.

That's the word, transition. I don't know if it is comforting straight away. It should be but then changes bring on a sense of discomfort and adjustment. Thank you for your comment Rod!
