Trusting The Birthing Process

My Summer Solstice son turned 30 this year.

I’m drawn back to his birthing room and the warm welcome we received from

our intimate circle of family and friends as he arrived.

I could feel their love surrounding us, holding us, blessing us.

As I held him on my chest, feeling his soft skin against mine,

I felt the dream we carried in our hearts for 40 weeks,

as I continually asked the question:

“How do you wish to be born?”

What a miraculous journey to reach this moment…

The prayers answered,

The strength of the sun calling him into life.

A few nights after his birth, I awoke to his soft stirring sounds

and to another sound I couldn’t quite recognize.

There was a familiarity to it and not.

A sound from my childhood.

Far and near.

In this lucid newborn space, was I dreaming?

The sounds continued as if the chorus was expanding.

Oh….it took me a moment…

Baby kittens!

Under our birthing bed, my daughter’s cat was giving birth!

Baby sounds, baby songs…

Nursing my baby as mama cat nursed her babies.

I smiled, feeling understood and in good company.

What is yearning and ready to be born for you now?

What kind of support do you dream of having

so you can fully share your light with the world?

Reach out if I can help support your journey!

I would be honored to.
