Congratulations Val and a most hearty and heart-felt welcome to your beautiful baby boy! Your essay is truly a gift. I am so touched by your deep and powerful sharing. It moved me to tears. So much beauty. I wanted to share that I am a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist and have had the honor of working w moms to be in various stages of their pregnancy. One of the things I have often been in awe of and felt Very clearly with each of them was a sense of a surround of support, layers of support, grandmother, yes, as well as, the archetypal mother & earth mother surrounding each of them. I have seen something v similar to your drawing actually around each of the mothers-to-be on my table. Blessed be. So sacred. I am deeply touched by your ability to share this so beautifully in writing and in your art. It’s feels like a kind of medicine, especially right now, to be reminded of the surround of unseen support that gathers when we need it the very most and is part of the very fabric of the entire process and, of course, just how profound and sacred the portal you and your baby boy have just passed through is. In awe of all of that and love! Thank you and bless your mending time. ❤️
