"The more clean you are in awakening to your own being, the more you'll be able to move your own being toward others.  Your evolution as awareness is in the purity of thatit's in the cleanness."

The mother-women seemed to prevail that summer at Grand Isle. It was easy to know them, fluttering about with extended, protecting wings when any harm, real or imaginary, threatened their precious brood. They were women who idolized their children, worshiped their husbands, and esteemed it a holy privilege to efface themselves as individuals and grow wings as ministering angels.
