"... There is softness to weigh in the presence of serenity and the brief feel of what within women draws men to their essence. The mystique of a woman can only be developed by the woman herself. The how is based on knowledge from a woman's elders..." 

It is, or for me, has always been a source of wonder the ways women convey complex forms of expression that have nothing to do with brute force, but with intangible elements that change the core of a man. Is it stillness, stillness within, or is it merely how the core of resistance is the blending of elements to understand and see the other?..."

Forever a Mama’s boy ❤️-

Jessica Lynne and her son early in the morning, 

August 8, 2018. 

"By definition, the term, Mama's boy, is a simple description of a boy's love for his mama. In his manhood that love creates value to this relationship. The boy becomes her great protector! In essence, a mother gives birth to her protection giving birth to a son!... 

Today, a lot of women believe they are the creation of their son into protectors. They aren't. That is the father's job. At some point, that energy can be provoked, not guided by fathers, or grandfathers, into something dark and resentful towards their mothers. American women, often, refute this out of pride and fear that men like me are right, and come to understand what we know the hard way!. . ."
