African Proverb

Being pregnant and giving birth are like crossing a narrow bridge. People can accompany you on that bridge. They can greet you on the other side. But you walk that bridge alone.

Naomi Wolf's MISCONCEPTIONS is on its way to being book review #2. Lucky for you, she has studded the novel with empowering quotes (or in today's case, proverbs) that I plan on posting as I arrive at them. I haven't yet had the privelage of pregnancy, or motherhood, but a little insight is never a bad thing...and for those of you who have, perhaps this will remind you of the valiant endeavour it is.
