I have always pushed it away, bottled it up, kept it locked deep inside. But I&#8217;m learning that by doing so it doesn&#8217;t go away, it just grows then screams out in pain in various parts of my body. When I sat down to play this time, I felt it well up in me, echoing the frustrating morning I&#8217;d had with my little warrior girl Laly, so defiant, not afraid to protest or go against her mother. She&#8217;s not like me and when I&#8217;m not in awareness, I can hear my quiet, bottled up voice within screaming out &#8220;I don&#8217;t understand you, why aren&#8217;t you like me! Why can&#8217;t you listen to me!&#8221;.\u00c2\u00a0 Of course I don&#8217;t want her to be like me, I just want her to do as I say.<\/p>\n<p>So this piece, <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/pia-bijkerk\/spirit-flight-part-2-by-pia-jane-bijkerk\" target=\"_blank\">Spirit &amp; Flight Part 2<\/a>, is a storytelling of my battle with motherhood, my struggle to adapt, to surrender to how I was mothered and how I mother and want to mother.<\/p>\n<p>In the second part of the piece (at 2 minutes 40 sec), I relinquish.<\/p>\n<p>These photos are from our few days in Byron last month. &#8220;Spirit&#8221; and &#8220;Flight&#8221; are two words that resonate with my time there, and the energy of our little Laly.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for listening again dear friends, I hope you enjoy this piece.
