Prenatal
"I am the Lord's servant...may it be to me as you have said." - Luke 1:38
"With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man." - Genesis 4:1
It is time to draw near again
To come home to You, to what is deep within me, and to those who gather around me
To watch and to wait; to be open, to surrender, to accept
To seek out peace, quietness, meditation, and prayer.
For I will be encompassed, consumed
As joy and pain
The forming of new life and the breaking of the body,
The union of two into one and the rendering of one into two
Meet and touch within my body and soul.
As the sunflower moves towards the sunlight
So I turn my face to You
And create.

Did you write that? I assume, since you didn't reference anyone else, that you did. So well expressed, my friend! I've been thinking about you, as you approach your due date, and imagining all the emotions and stress you must be feeling. I'm praying for you!
Somehow I'm thinking your site is going to be a refuge for the next month! :)

Chani - I hope it can be! Come hang out with my Advent-waiting, contemplative, contracting self anytime! :)
Kristi - yes...thank you!
Wow!
Wow. I'm not a big fan of poetry (I usually just don't get it), but that was just beautiful. Moving. Deep.
You do have a way with words. :-)
You are in our prayers these days. You KNOW that you are also in Grandma's prayers.
Really beautiful Cath! Praying for you.
