Or so that's what they call it. I call it physical whispers of love from the inside. Or, tickles from
your elegant movements, my Baby my Love.
Oh what a trip this is. Only within the last few weeks
have I felt your tiny body move within me. It's the most precious
beautifully amazing feeling my body has ever experienced. Your sweet wee
existence has already made such a grand impact on my life. So much
love, excitement, and pure joy is all around me because you are here.
How appropriate that today is the The Summer Solstice.
“Summer
is a celebration of the earth incredible bounty! Summer is a festival
of this inner fire/power, the power that makes abundance and nourishment
grow from tiny seeds.”
“The
power that brings things to fulfillment, and expands and brightens our
lives, that makes good things come from seed ideas and plans. And the
warmth of the sun and the long, hot days continually remind us of how
good it is to find a balance between intense activity and lazy, idle
hours doing nothing.”
“Summer
teaches us patience. The fruit is green until it’s ripe and you just
can’t rush it. Something of the slow, sure rhythm of the time will enter
into us if we let it; no, we can’t hurry things, but if we just relax
and let go, things will reach their fullness without effort or ego’s
striving on our part.”
“And
as we watch the ripening and flowering and fruiting all around us, we
can’t help but be moved by and grateful for the generosity of the Earth
Mother, who gives says what we need so unstintingly. Summer is a perfect
time to discover our earth connection; by receiving her gifts with
respect, taking only what we need, and doing what we can to minimize our
impact on the delicate balance of the planet, we strengthen and nourish
the bond we were given a birth with the great parent who sustains us
all.” Cathy Lynn Pagano
Our next new chapter, filled with so much unknown... Where will we live? Am I
exercising enough? Should I eat more fruit? What kind of parents will
we be? Can you feel how much I already love you? 'Relax',' let go', and 'allow'.
Tonight I celebrate this incredible being that is growing daily within my womb. That you my Babe, are safe, warm, nurtured, and that you know and feel you are loved. Always. The rest, I'm sure will follow.
