“Birth is an opportunity to transcend. To rise above what we are accustomed to, reach deeper inside ourselves than we are familiar with, and to see not only what we are truly made of, but the strength we can access in and through Birth.” –Marcie Macari
I supported my daughter in her labor as she struggled to bring forth the new life from within her. She and her baby worked together to create a new beginning; she working through the pain as the baby made her slow progression down, coming closer to the entrance of this outer world.
Out of the pain, out of the struggle, came the reward. And I was blessed to bear witness to this journey to life.
