I recently had the opportunity to attend a totally natural, home birth as a doula. It was an extraordinary experience and still a novel one to me. The mum was a true inspiration to watch and a testament to what we are still capable of if we choose to take on that responsibility. To see a child come into this world by candlelight - from inside another human being is completely and utterly mind-blowing.
I feel like I walk a little lighter now, like I've been humbled by the power of nature.
One cannot doubt the essential connection between man and nature, but it is easy to lose sight of in today's modern society. I feel lucky to be a part of these definitive moments that are at the essence of our existence and I feel lucky to be a woman. We are at the roots of it all.
