MOM..........

What is the role of a Mother?   Witnessing motherhood in the wild is inspiring.  Man (both men and women or "humans") can learn from the lesson taught by these "wild" parents.   Yelling or persistent vocal address is not an option.  All is taught in silence and gesture.  Eating and self preservation is the daily priority.  First observations of the moose mother (cow) seems to portray an air of non concern for the calf.  Eat, chew, eat more chew more.  Head down moving to new courses.  It seems that not much attention is toward the calf.   Close observation reveals the cow is always  concerned about the calf.  Short glances, head turned toward the calf insures it's whereabouts.  Safety is another matter.  Crowds will gather when this relationship is discovered.  Just like the ooh's and aah's hooted at the site of a new born child.  Humans are drawn to witness this natural spectacle.  The cow will always require that she is between the calf and the onlookers.  Again, looking close the Cow is on alert and somewhat anxious.  There is a line in the sand.  Some people have discovered it.  And predators have experienced it.  That being a mothers wrath.  The natural instinct to protect their child is incredible.    The same is true with humans.  Holy Cow!  Don't put MOM in a position to defend her child.  We should all witness that great love, power and authority of MOM.  Enjoy watching moms caress their child on the back of the neck as they kiss their foreheads.  Or like the Moose Cow above a gentle kiss to pass assurance that all is well....for now.
