"Every midwife knowsthat not until a mother’s..." - Quote by Rumi
Every midwife knowsthat not until a mother’s wombsoftens from the pain of laborwill a way unfoldand the infant find that opening to be born.Oh friend!There is treasure in your heart,it is heavy with child.Listen.All the awakened ones,like trusted midwives are saying,'welcome this pain.It opens the dark passage of Grace.
