What i am enjoying these days:
The fall leaves covering the ground.
Spending time with Matt.
Every sound that Nico makes.
Every hour of sleep I get.
Every meal that a friend brings over.
The books I have been devouring.
My home.
Making tissue paper pom poms for Ben’s birthday party.
Reading Expressive Photography
Watching Glee.
Collaborating with Brene Brown on a Dream Lab.
Every small kindness.
There is a way that birth opens you up, not only physically but in other ways too. This birth cracked me open, not in a traumatic way, but in the sense that I am more open now than I have been in a long time. The feeling that this is a window of opportunity is almost palpable– a crack letting more light in, more love, and more healing than I ever could have imagined. I am treading lightly with it, not wanting this window to close, wanting to be as conscious as I can to take advantage of all this moment has to give. I almost don’t want to say too much about it, just to acknowledge that this time feels sacred and fleeting, and that the possibility of miracles feels unbearably close.

such a beautiful post…i love the way you say things. “the possibility of miracles feels unbearably close.” birth and motherhood are so amazing this way.
It sounds like a beautiful thing and I am so glad it is happening for you.
Oh this is exciting and hopeful and so wonderful.
THIS is what makes life so belly flipping awesome: “the possibility of miracles feels unbearably close.”
i loved reading is…
it reminded me of how birth and death are connected.
am seeing a dear friend mourn the loss of her husband.
it is a sad and tragic occasion.
but – as in birth – their is a sense of time stopping.
and sacredness.
be blessed, one thousand times.

Have you heard this song?
It’s a song Mattisyahu released for Chanukah (tonight’s the last night!) and it was the first thing I thought of after reading what you wrote…
All the best.

Every single drug has several contraindications, perhaps Viagra, which is apparently very, great remedy for impotence problems. Men content to take him back again, on the other hand, and this also drug has many problems, just n’t invariably true, what will i say, I’m sure he was excellent, nevertheless, has some contraindications, for instance practicly all medicines available on the market. Men suffering from cardiovascular disease, your history of soul attacks and swings, cannot make normal sex. Including love making to be reckoned together with, but they could not use. Viagra. Viagra, after expanding your whole cavernous, allowing a similar to kayak along the blood in to them, that might charge the circulatory system. Hence it isn’t feasible to charge of sexual intercourse. Viagra is a very effective drug, I would recommend it to all who want to make love without restriction. Prior to take Viagra, it really is worthwhile, even so, consult your medical professional or pharmacist. Without the application of Viagra, is usually very harmful in addition to cause more problems than good.
This is beautiful, thank you for writing and sharing. I feel it, too. 🙂

Thank you for saying this. I’m one week and two days away from my due date now and happy anticipation about the baby is mixed with dread for the actual birth. Your words made it a little easier – and increased the anticipation 🙂
Beautifully put, and a lovely image that captures the ephemeral nature of this time. Your words are spare and full of wonder – what wonderful awareness you have. Blessings to you and your family during this time.
I love this: “the possibility of miracles feels unbearable close.”
It makes wonder feel almost tangible.
So glad you are having this window of time.
I hate to say this but you are absolutely wrong. Everything about this post is absured. Do you even have any idea what you are talking about? I suggest you visit your local community college to get up to speed. Better yet check out the middle school at least their thoughts surpass yours!
Thanks for the help, I learned a lot. If anyone else is truggling I found these
Php Tutorials to be very useful.
