We have a secret in our culture...
and it's not that birth is painful. It's that women are strong. - Laura Stavoe Harm
*genea is the ancient Greek root word meaning origin, generation, family.
I believe that the act of Birth creates not only a new baby, but a whole new family in all its myriad forms.
When you have come to the edge of all the light you know
And are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown,
Faith is knowing that one of two things will happen:
There will be something solid to stand on
Or you will be taught how to fly.
~Patrick Overter
