There is no way a post, a story, a look, etc. can encompass the way I’d like to communicate what birth is, to me. But hmmmm…
It’s like everything and nothing (I know, so zen) all at the same time. It’s like the greatest climax of the entire world’s life, infinite fireworks going off in unison and the absolute most still, silent, peaceful moment you could ever fathom, all tucked inside of a lucid dream.
All I’m sure of is the immense gratitude I have for all of those I’ve known, will continue to be present with and will meet in the future. I have felt so held to rise to this occasion of pregnancy, birth and postpartum transition and can only credit all of the inner and outer work of myself and others. It’s so worth it to be present. It’s so worth it to reach for awareness, to be open and to acknowledge the real bubbling underneath the surface. I’m just so happy I was able to manifest such an ideal (for me) birth and now rolling into my postpartum time, I’m still riding that cloud of love for myself and the others I share space and time with.
Thanks for reading and a big, special thanks to my dearest friends who have been there for me through this time. you’re such a treasured friend and witness. Thank you for being there during this little one’s arrival.
📸 all the photos of me were taken by another dear friend with some pretty flowers photos by me. And the last slide was the baby in the tub right as they entered earthside.🌊🌀✨
