2011 - Talk Birth

[15]
Now, I have to decide whether I’m going for round three or not! (Perhaps there is a lesson to be
found here in that birth isn’t supposed to be perfect and neither is birth art.) I feel like accomplished
my original goal, which was to make a positive crowning/pushing image for myself—I thought all kinds of
helpful, ”open” thoughts while creating this last one especially and imagined welcoming the feeling of the
baby’s head, rather than feeling fearful of it! So, she reminds me of that feeling. And, maybe she—and
thus, myself–are actually good enough after all.

Ahhh!! I *love* the 3 generations figure, flaws or no! You perhaps don’t recognize your amazing and extraordinary
birthing power. As a witness to your past birthing abilities, I found you to be an immense source of intuition and
body trust, as well as amazingly bodily focused (as opposed to your usual head/intellect focus). I love to see your
vast knowledge translated into such a physical realm. Truly, you’re a sight to behold!

I’m going to have to with Barbara on this one! While I haven’t been present at your births, I’ve heard enough and
seen the pictures. ;) I think it’s interesting the parallel between underestimating yourself in birth and underestimating
yourself in birth *art*. Hmm.. Personally, I have every confidence that whatever you set your mind to, you will
achieve. No matter what. It’s just who you are, my friend!
