What connections are there in the text about motherhood?

Motherhood is revered and instinctual...... soemthing that enable women to rise above even the most difficult challenge.

We women have something of the mother in us that makes us rise above smaller matters when the mother-spirit is invoked; I felt this big, sorrowing man's head resting on me, as though it were that of the baby that some day may lie on my bosom, and I stroked his hair as though he were my own child.
