The Big Pause in Lockdown | Season of Motherhood (May 2020) | Artefact Motherhood Project
"Seasons of Motherhood" is part of the ARTEFACT MOTHERHOOD project, where we tell a story with one picture that depicts our current season of motherhood.
The lockdown time has allowed us to pause, take stock, and reconnect with each other. With nowhere in particular that we had to be; no other demands than to make sure we stay safe and well. The sense of urgency that I had before has largely gone. It is like rewinding the clock back and taking me to that early season of motherhood when I was home with you and before you both had begun school; a time I loved and missed, now being given a second chance to revisit again. It is being able to make amends; to do things that I wished we had done if we could go back in time. And it’s this time, this time I never thought I would get. It is a gift.
