"August said, 'Listen to me now, Lily. I'm going to tell you something I want you always to remember, all right?' Her face had grown serious. Intent. Her eyes did not blink.
'All right,' I said, and I felt some electric slide down my spine.
'Our Mother Mary is not some magical being out there somewhere, like a fairy godmother. She's not the statue in the parlor. She's something inside of you. Do you understand what I'm telling you?'
'Our Mother Mary is inside me,' I repeated, not sure that I did.
'You have to find a mother inside yourself. WE ALL DO. Even if we already have a mother, we still have to find this part of ourselves inside.'" ~Sue Monk Kidd~
