Giving birth to humans, like giving birth to a new way of living a life, is a painful, scary process.
You face a great wall of fear and know you must scale it or pound right through it
If you hope to bring something... someone new into our world.
Both lives, the one gestating in the womb, and the one dreamed of by an adult or child, beckon with only guessed-at happiness. We believe the changes will enrich our lives. If we are courageous, they certainly have a chance to do so. And it may be completely different than we think it will be. And that is okay too.
"Stagnation is death," my teacher would say. Best to keep moving and growing. Becoming. Making mistakes and trying again.
What are you giving birth to today for yourself and the world?
