They are separated only by a framework of silk strands; within each boarder, a kaleidoscope of strength, adventure, understanding, courage, passion and life.
The reward and title of Matriarch is set aside and accepted much later in life; and within their restricted code of demeanor, it is rewarded not by age but by the strength of family.
They protect and sow strength, character and vision all while celebrating individuality cushioned within their care and vision. They blend humility and pride seeking confidence yet understanding never to walk past hesitancy or resistance without regard.
In return they ask only for what they have given – respect.
Never dictating leadership but choosing to guide, inspire and in time, appreciate.
They celebrate individuality. They celebrate heritage, knowing that the core of their forest will sustain the fragile branches of new life.
They reserve the right to shed tears; their breath taken away witnessing pain and joy in celebration.
They led their lives by example, blessed with strength, courage and understanding. Their rewards reflected in the eyes of their family; continuing to teach, never settle in their shadow; only in their light.
Never accepting repugnance as an avenue of character; instead steering them to find the depth to persevere the length and rewards along a new path.
They articulate on the strength and values of family and of friends. Without doubt, without reservation, emerging at all times to be first and only, before one more verdict, one more treaty, one more test.
They tutor the value of living life; not that it is too brief, but to not waste time in finding it’s joy.
They demonstrate that life’s happiness is not a label, nor a test, nor judgment by anyone other than its guardian; teaching of life’s canvas and it’s infinite, boundless creation of promise and assurance.
They demonstrate strength in their unconditional unity of family.
They demonstrate courage in their resolve; in resounding silence yet unchallenged in its strength and structure. They quote from their past heritage:
He who loses wealth, loses much
He who loses friends, loses more
But he who loses his courage loses all
They demonstrate leadership by their guidance, not by force, but by understanding.
They demonstrate knowledge, by acceptance and not judgment of failure.
They reveal pain with strength and resolve when witnessing life.
They plead to all, when seeking life’s changing questions; do something with the answers they find.
And they find humor and joy from the mouths of babes not yet witness to Life, only concerned for their dedication - expressing with overwhelming annoyance “But life is so hard” and in response they can only ask “Compared to what”.
They look in reflection at their greatest rewards in life and see it through the eyes of their family and of their friends and accept without further reservation their deed of Matriarch.
