The Fawn

NUTURE
Artwork by Tracy May Fouts

The doe and fawn show that there is hope for a healthy life for the fawn if the mother doe chooses to nurture the fawn.

Nurturing is an essential part of every relationship.  With the mother doe and fawn it is clear: if the mother does not care for her young, it will not survive.  The doe must give her fawn food and teach it how to survive in nature.  Initially they are always together, but eventually the baby ventures out by itself.  Of course this is a process and takes time.   All of this helps in the physical growth and development of the baby animal. Being fed and nurtured brings stability and safety as well.

Likewise, in relationships, for there to be healthy growth, individuals must take care of one another, share with the other, and cultivate the relationship for it to grow.  Relationships will eventually die if two people involved do not take time to nurture the relationship.  Cherishing each other and focusing on helping out each other brings stability in a relationship as well.  Hope of a healthy relationship happens when 2 persons choose to nurture it!
