I’ve loved hearing this story of your bub running head-on into the water three times now: once while overhearing it told tenderly amidst other midwives at the kitchen table, once as we spoke together about his fearless curiosity, and now here with this beautiful context of your family’s traditions and rituals. It is really a gift to see these small intimate moments of life be memorialized and enshrined with all the love that they hold.
This is such a great piece of writing and as a new mom at 42, (home birth in Mexico!) I enjoyed reading an experience of motherhood I will never have. I marvel at how much energy, passion and capacity you have to hold so much of the world in your heart. Thank you for sharing that with us.
It is nice to hear that how much I "hold in my heart" rings through my writing, and also that reading that writing is meaningful. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.
Thank you for your voice. It is always a gift to read your words. You have such a beautiful way of capturing your lived experience and thoughts. It is always so soul nourishing to read 💗🌻 💦🌱🌿
