Once there was someone who taught me about birth
Who taught me about power
Who told me I could do anything
Who helped me believe
In a blanket of safety that I could do anything
I think she thought she was only allowing me to remember all that I already knew
and she was right
but...in this life had I missed her teaching I would've missed all that I already knew
and without her I would no doubt have missed the most amazing experience of this life
I was given a great gift by my midwife
The space to feel and know my own power
The room to remember and own it
The time to allow it to unfold as it should have
As it did
And great, deep respect for the process of birth
She is in my life now for many other reasons
but today I would like to thank the her before she was my friend
the her that openly supported me and my partner with no reservations
She may have only been the holder of the key
but she gave it to me and without that gift
I would not be me now
Thank you for passing on the wisdom
The ripple only swells and continues to grow
Remember
and thanks

I read this first in the morning and lost my reply. So needed that, teary and sweet. Thanks for returning the favor by keeping it real and juicy and glorious in this life! You remind me to keep the channel clear so the gifts can express themselves and grow. Your gratitude attitude is always inspiring.
