Wow! Congrats Tara to you & your wonderful family! Thank you for bringing me to tears of joy and love today.. along with all of your readers! The truth and wonder of a mother witnessed in her birthing power is healing and inspiring for everyone. I have only just learned about 'free births' over the past year while getting to know a whole new community of freedom-loving people in my homeschool network. It's revelatory. These empowered mamas are seeding a whole new paradigm for the generations to come and I'm so grateful.
I appreciate how your writing touches these deeper considerations around our sovereignty. Though I had both my boys 'naturally' in hospital (a decade ago), I didn't trust myself enough to 'break the law' and have a home birth- (here in PEI, midwifery is still in the process of being legislated). The biggest 'aha' for me though, is how fear has been used to control us in so many areas of life, but especially motherhood- because for most (if not all) of us- it's the nearest and dearest role we play. With each free birth I learn about, I rejoice in the power of women reclaiming our choices, our health, our freedom, our love & our sacred moments.
Bask in the luminous wonder of your beautiful grandchild and your glowing powerful daughter! Love Love Love!
Thank you for your thoughtful and generous comment, Emily. I am so enjoying reading about other women's stories of birth and how so many of us are realizing what has been lost in following the rules or trying to please others or, as is mostly the case, just being unaware and truly wanting to do what we've been told is best for our children.
I admit that when I was first introduced to the idea, I thought it a little irresponsible. I started to read and listen and a whole new way of thinking opened up. It's satisfying to hear that you find the thread of sovereignty throughout my writing. It seems to me that the more I untangle, the more I learn, the more I come to understand how dangerous sovereignty is becoming to the goals of the establishment. Conformity and obedience to systems and guidelines are held up as virtues. And yet, I don't see much hope or joy or connection to meaning in those words.
I'm with you - I rejoice as women reclaim the beauty and expansion of birth as they so choose to do. We are a people awakening. From our food to our lifestyles to the raising and educating of our children to our freeing ourselves from the indoctrination into all facets of machine-life, things are happening. It's worthy of rejoicing indeed. ❤️❤️
