More Lessons in Waiting

::::" Second I thought you should know that now that your little girl has waited until the new lunar new year she will now be born in the year of the golden pig. This is a special pig year that comes only every 600 years!! These children are said to be VERY lucky, healthy and honest. I think you need to write a poem to your little muse and light candles (maybe on for each day past your due date that she waits to arrive) each day and let her light get brighter and brighter here on the outside. I'm thinking of you and calling your little girl out with good thoughts. Let me know if you need company." I want to live in this way of thinking rather than the tense and wonky fear walking I've been doing. This is an excerpt from a friend's email, so good for my soul.

:::: I offered the intention in my yoga class tonight that I would let go of everything. "Who cares? Let go of everything." I was so drawn to the prostrate poses. I am wired that way, if I am to mentally surrender, I need to physically get prostrate. If I am going to allow my involuntary uterus to get down and dirty with its work, well, then I need to release some effort on the part of my voluntary muscles.

::: Not super profound tonight, tired but wistful. Grateful for alot of healing laughter today. Ask me how many people have asked in whispers if Geoff and I were having enough sex. If that's not enough, it's WHO has asked that really makes me laugh. All friends, or acquaintances at least-- just not folks you necessarily want to answer. Oh and ask me about my doula-friend who sent the best article about natural induction and the technique that is supposed to be 10 times more effective than any other prostoglandin treatment.
