I finally got to watch this today while cuddling my newborn babe. It profoundly moved me. It was beautifully done and brought tears to my eyes. My favorite part was the dragonfly part.

Love and birth and death and we are all rolling around one another, sharing and rejoicing and bawling. How beautiful when it all comes together and we are courageous enough to feel it so that we can feel the profundity of the beautiful stuff too.
