Starting with love
in a moment of ecstasyTwo cells unite
merge into oneIn that moment
the Spirit enters
and life has begunCells divide and grow
becoming layers, organs and bones
creating in infinite perfection
the human formEach part dependent on the whole
a complete system
designed to protect and preserveA separate being
develops and growsHer body adapts
responds
nourishes
preparesFrom the moment she becomes aware
of the new life inside
the process beginsTransforming her to
Motherhood
When each stage is complete
her body starts
the progression of events
the complex dance
leading to birthBeginning slowly
gradually building intensity
she labors, she worksHer body mechanisms
flawlessly designed
stretches
e xpands
p ropels
The pain
gradually becomes
overwhelming
excruciating
agonizing
She draws on the Power
of generations of mothers
who each birthed before her
the knowledge buried into her cells
She breaths
she screams
s he faces fear
she draws upon an inner reserve
of strength
she did not know was thereShe transcends
she becomes one
with tThe Mother
as the power
fills herShe pushes beyond
her limits of endurance
until slowly
a head emerges
then the rest of the babyHer child
once interconnected
becomes a separate being
and she transforms
into a motherCompleting the circle
of love
of ecstasyA miracle

In the stillness of the early morning
before the sun has even begun
to color the sky
rests a quiet peace
The chill of the night
surrounding and enveloping
drawing one inside
y
et the setting moon beckons
The world sleeps on
while a few tend to modern life
a woman may labor and birth
the aged pass over quietly
In the transition between night and day
resides a time
where the energy of the Creator
is in Full force
It is a time to pray
and breathe
and sing
and move
And take the peace
the time brings
into our heart
to remain throughout the day

Fueled by the energy
of love
In a circle of othersWe joined
and created a circle
of our ownWith the fullness of the moon
with her rainbow circle of light
shining on usLove and Light entered
together our hearts joined
without expectation
without fearAnd met with a circle of joy
You held me in your arms
and rocked me
until I was ready
t o surrender to the circleThe doors to my heart
the walls and boxes
so carefully locked
opened
pain and fear kept buried
suddenly released
to float away
free in the circleBeyond you and I
entered the spirit
offering healing
through the circleMy path became clear
to choose to follow
and live in the light of the circle

Peace is not absence of conflict
But the process of resolving itPeace is communication
The process of negotiating meaningPeace teaches us
We learn from the processPeace is everyone's responsibility
The process begins withinPeace is the next step
In the process of evolutionPeace opens our minds
The process expands our heartsDS 3/27/03
