A bit about the womb:
I have never been one who would consider themselves innately motherly. I am a teacher. I am a guide. But as of late my daughter has been haunting me. She watches me as I sleep. She is changing me from the inside out. Since she has made herself known to me so many of my core beliefs about myself have been challenged. I always thought of myself as someone who would change the world. But in her eyes I see the simple truth that the darkness already has me. I cannot make this world a more peaceful place when my heart is so full of rage. But I can teach her. I can protect her from those things that cripple me. In her I see all of my light and none of my darkness. I am Kali giving birth to Krishna. She will know my darkness and temper it with patience. Her dark mother will give her the ability see without judging. For the first time in my life I welcome pregnancy. Already her inner peace is healing me. I hope someday she will be able to heal the world.
