Happy Halloween

When witches go riding,
and black cats are seen,
the moon laughs and whispers,
‘tis near Halloween.

Birth

10/27/2011 10:30:00

The growth of child within is a miracle, followed by the miracle of birth! Birth is a major passage of life for the expectant parents as well as the baby. A woman becomes a mother, a man becomes a dad, a baby becomes the newborn child and maybe a sibling. A child becomes a brother or sister. A mom becomes a grandma and a dad a grandpa. The list goes on. The ripples of birth reach far and wide. Every womans journey is unique just like the bellies below!

Enjoy your journey, make it your own!

Woman to Child

I wither and you break from me;

yet though me dance in living light

I am earth, I am not root,

I am the stem from the fed fruit , the link that joins you to the night.

The joy of the spirit is the measure of its power.

My mother groaned! my father wept.

Into the dangerous world I leapt:

Helpless, naked piping loud:

Like a fiend hid in a cloud.

Struggling in my father's hands,

Striving against my swaddling bands.

Bound and weary I thought best

To sulk upon my mother's breast.

Nature vs Machine

Nature is already as good as it can be.

It cannot be improved upon

He who tries to redesign it, spoils it

He who tries to redirect it, misleads it

" So the child learns life with human arms, It learns to eat......to laugh, to play, to listen, to watch, to dance, to feel frightened or relaxed , in human arms."

Reject what insults your soul

Making a decision

to have a child--it's momentous.

It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body!

This has always been my feeling and no matter how old your children are

your heart will always be vulnerable!

Here is to all the mothers who have put their hearts out, thank you! You are all extremely special.
