And what about those of us who know we are more than just human?
How do we navigate this space?
All this work to undo the trauma of our childhoods, overthrow oppressive systems, spread universal teachings, etc.
and birth has still yet to make the first page.
This is where it all starts…
Where illusions begin to take place.
But they don’t have to.
Scratch that, pregnancy.
When mother is super psychic but doesn’t always know she should go out of
her way
to do shadow work because the things she’ll experience become a
part of the play.
Newborn sentiments, full grown sentences to keep the harsh feelings at bay.
See if the father will stay?
Baby is still connected anyway.
No book can teach.
No lecture can preach.
Emptiness that is felt
no matter if well beyond their reach.
Deepest fears, becoming human.
What must be removed?
“YOU DID THIS TO ME!!!”
or birth ain’t safe under your roof.
Who helps the ones who remember to get here without amnesia?
Got all the knowledge in the world yet
stuck on synesthesia.
What world is this
That there are few safe spaces for expecting families to coexist?
The mages, shamans, healers, etc.
bound to a perspective that’s limited.
When we will we stop pretending that everything in the multiverse isn’t about this?
Know Tantra weaves together fates by screwing menstruation dates.
I am the ‘conscious’ doula.
Birth is highly spiritual.
If we are to shift the paradigms,
then how we enter must be sublime.
Answer the call to make it sacred,
and heal the wombs that were filled with hatred.
