Good-enough parenting requires a reciprocal refusal to be consumed by your children, to avoid succumbing either to the urge to make the other unreal, or the temptation of allowing them to make you so. For a child to recognize their parent’s independent existence might be just as hard as it is for a parent to recognize their children’s. Perhaps it is harder. There’s a whole genre of children’s book in which a baby animal of some kind seeks to locate or identify their mother. It’s an appealing primal quest. But there are hardly any books depicting a child seeking to get to know one’s mother.

A few years ago, while living abroad, I visited home fleetingly for a job interview. I’d hoped, perhaps assumed, my mum would meet me at the airport. Instead, she was away white-water kayaking for the weekend. She was pushing seventy at the time, and it was the dead of winter—I was impressed. But there was another feeling mixed in that was harder to place. Was I in some way put out that she should lead an independent life, even when I was gone? Some part of me still expected my parents’ activities to be defined by my own presence, waiting in suspended animation during my absences for my return. One of the reasons it is so hard to make sense of the identity of parent—mother perhaps in particular—is that its primary relatum isn’t (yet?) capable of understanding the limits or contingency of that identity. I am approaching forty now, and have a decent store of childhood memories of my parents at that age. It requires a pretty radical revision of those memories to allow that the adults in them had interior lives as real as my own now is. It’s like the opposite of finding yourself on a film set—buildings I treated as facades turn out to have interiors.

Through a thousand daily frustrations my children and I tell each other that our wills are separate. A refusal to be edible, the inducement of indigestion, is their best gift to me. In turn, I show them their own limits, my own reality. The business of being distinct people brings with it its own forms of loneliness. But it’s a loneliness that’s a precondition for the possibility of recognition—a loneliness that can drive us forward in the constantly shifting project of knowing and being known.

So I've just learned the Latin phrase 'vinum refert' which means 'puking the wine out'

The phrase comes from the word refero, referre, retuli, relatum which means 'giving something back' or 'bringing something back' etc.

I just think this is really beautiful and I'm so gonna use it

Oct 2024 - Lee Ufan "Relatum - to heaven road"

'Empty space is beautiful not because it is but because it is a place where things and space respond to each other with high energy reverberations. It can be described as a contradictory realm where light and darkness are unified'

It's too bad that "growing pains" seem to not be caused by physical growth, because it makes for a really good relatum in a metaphor but I can't suffer a metaphor grounded in falsity.

Gallia in MGCS (Main Ground Combat Systems) propositum deducere vult, programma, quod novam pugnae piscinam tamquam "systematum systematum" par cum pugnatorum generatione quinta et sexta concepit. Ut a La Tribune relatum est, Paris quasi aut aut ad Berolinum dedisset, socium consilii, declarans aut Romae implicari aut programmata communi Franco-Germanica non fieri.

Mgcs novas technologias utendi per intellegentiam, mobilitatem, facultatem fucos vel robots transportandi et facultatem connexionis cum omnibus bonis quae in proelio sunt, iuxta conceptum "consilii integratum" par postrema generatio bellator-bomborum, ergo piscina ab iis qui nunc in exercitibus Galliae et Germaniae vigent, obiective in reliquo orbe terrarum erit.

Iterum secundum diurna Gallica, Gallia et Italia nuper concesserunt proponere Germaniae participationem Italicam (repraesentatam Leonardo) in programmate, cum Parisiis apparens non amplius vis in inceptis militaris industriae in cooperatione Berolinensi opprimi.

Novissimo Iunio apud Le Bourget internationale aerospace ostendunt, Minister defensionis Italiae Guido Crosetto ostendit se "longum sermonem" habuisse cum suis Gallicis Sébastien Lecornu in variis argumentis, inter quas "cooperationem in agro defensionis industriae".
