The original intentions of Mother's Day were less sentimental and more important than anything we have now:Arise, then, women of this day! Arise, all women who have hearts, whether your baptism be that of water or tears

We shall remind the world where we may.

[vicioussweetie]

You, at least, can remind by example.

[chill_whispers]

I? Not we?

[vicioussweetie]

Do you want to see what would happen if I disarmed?

[chill_whispers]

Your sword is not of murder, my love. You do not seek battle out of pride or vanity, and you end no life that does not truly need it.

[vicioussweetie]

But do my enemies understand the distinction?

[chill_whispers]

They have the opportunity to learn. How much more can we offer those who have set themselves against us?

[vicioussweetie]

I still can't think of a good answer for that.

[chill_whispers]

Then for now, let it be enough.
