Just a moment of reflection.
Mother
Us woman we all love our children.
From the beginning of time us woman have had to suffered with the possibility that at the end of the pregnancy there might not be a happy ending.
One possibility is one might not live to raise our babies.
Two that the child we carry for almost 10 months is borne without a breath to exhale from its lung.
Or the third option both mother and child do not make it through the life giving ordeal.
We are always sorry and wonder which is worst, all are the worst possible outcome.
Our extraordinary humanity forces us to find a way to make sense of life and death, to make sense of misfortune.
As a mother even though I knew there was a possibility that I might not make it. I still will not hesitate to carry life within, hold it in my arms, provide nurture and protection within and outside of my body. To know this soul I help to bring forth will be a part of the light of all of my ancestors and my husbands ancestors and will provide light now and through them the many generations to come.
CAGIO.
