a day at the lake

The gift of water. We both float effortlessly - cradled by life's most precious offering.

Mina can not be mistaken now! In complete perfection she grows and becomes exactly as she should. I can only think to myself that I too have followed this same unavoidable path - unknowingly I move in perfect harmony with Life, Life, Life. I exhale with relief and inhale with exuberance! We are exactly as we should be dear one! She is already so loved by Life that I can not help but feel that I too must have come into this world with such a wide embrace and welcome - a landscape opening to me. How is it that I can make myself feel so foreign? I am slowly being reminded of my hidden glory in your presence. You are a treasured soul - a temporary guest that I get to meet, play with, and love - unconditionally. What joy Life brings!!

I am beginning to love this pregnant body. In all of its aches and pains, stretch marks and spider veins, I feel most remarkable. In this constant changing form I find more that I adore! Her little feet pressed up against my side makes me laugh every time!
