I was troubled by something, can't remember what now. Sudden awareness of my mother above and to the left. She spoke my name 'Patricia' in that full name and stern voice that mothers use when they are unhappy with their child. I believed she disapproved of my choice/position on the issue. I said to her in my hea. 'Don't come to me if you can't come with respect'. The presence left suddenly - disappeared.
