It’s obvious this video is about friendship. The loyal, loving relationship between two unlikely creatures. I was going to share how this is the kind of friend I want to be, but the more I think about it, I realize it’s not only about being a good friend.
It’s also about mothering.
There is a part in this video when it’s clear how the much larger, physically dominate one could crush the other, yet does not. I think about how in my own life, when I could’ve chosen gentleness and compassion, yet I spiritually, mentally squashed the weaker one, my own little one due to anger, frustration and that ugliness within we call sin.
I’m ashamed to admit it, but I will, if it helps another mother.
May we as mothers withhold the ability to crush those we love.
