RLP Holiday - Mother's Day II: Heed Not the Darkness nor the Rain

Red Letter Philosophy - A podcast by Red Letter Philosophy

Welcome to our second annual Mother's Day episode. Join us as we meditate on the meaning of motherhood through poetry and prose. To quote G.K. Chesterton: “How can it be a large career to tell other people's children about the Rule of Three, and a small career to tell one's own children about the universe?" How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone, and narrow to be everything to someone? No. A woman's function is laborious, but because it is gigantic, not because it is minute. I will pity Mrs. Jones for the hugeness of her task; I will never pity her for its smallness.”
