They Grow Up
Dear Indi, I hope you find peace knowing she is growing up...
Our children are not ours, they are gifts given to us. They choose us while a wee miniscule unseen atom and In the bliss of passion their creation occurs.
Conception.
We carry them for 10 lunar months and everyday the sun and the moon rises and sets they grow within us, being nourished, nurtured, cacooned.
They wait for the perfect moment to make us aware they are growing inside.
Small butterfly flickers tickling us, a movement so slight as if a feather has tickled our womb.
Life.
It had already began long before we felt those light flickers but now she made her presence known. Those soft flickers becoming stronger everyday until finally you feel her heel colliding with your ribs.
Growth.
She moves. Kinetically turning this way and that. Sometimes your slumber is disturbed.
Hands placed on your growing abdomen caress the child within. Soothing effleurage.
She settles and rests.
Parturiency.
The months have flown by and then seem to stop as you wait for your precious bundle. You wait forthe perfect time when the stars are aligned and the Divine has written in the Book of Life the time of her birth.
Finally you travail, spasms and contractions, the wanted pain of the miracle of birth. Pushing until...
She is here!
Perfect, whole, your longing...
She is here!
Happy Birthday Dear Estair

Beautiful Cynthia.. Some days I think soon I should think about kids.. but I feel scared.. here I am still trying to figure out things in my life.. still feel so young and naive .. so much to do..so much growing up tp do.. but then I met you all at the BFTP threads and it is heartening to see you all balance everything.. that just because I would need to be sensible for someone else's sake does not mean I will have to give up believing in goodness, love, bliss and fantasy.. you all seem so wise and I learn lots from you all .. thank you
ReplyDeleteAww, Rhea you are so sweet. Having children is a gift that is given to us when it is ordained. We think we like to "control" it but it happens when the Divine is ready to give us the gift of children. No fear, dear Rhea, we grow up with our kids, we make mistakes, but the journey is just that, a journey on a road that is sometimes smooth and an easy ride and sometimes bumpy. We learn together and we share our wisdom which we gain with experience. It is awesome! I always took my children (I have threes sons) with me to restaurants and other places when they were young. I showed them my world and I hope I taught them to live life to its fullest, to do their passion and follow their dreams, to love God and others and treat others with love and respect. That is all I could do. They live their own lives we are just the catalyst to help them start their own journey! Love and Blessings, XO Cyn
