Birth is…

Birth is…

Primitive and primal

Like taking a shit

Everyone does it

What’s the big fucking deal?

 

Birth is…

Beautiful and ecstatic

Like a colourful multi-dimensional orgasm

Opening the petals of a flower

 

Birth is…

Blissful and calm

Like an untouched lake

Glistening in the morning light

 

Birth is…

Painful and powerful

Like the death of a loved one

Ripping open your heart

 

Birth is…

Lifeforce passing through you

Like a bolt of lightning

Cracking open the earth

 

Birth is…

Quiet and ancient

Like the stars on a moonless night

 

Or your breath as you sit in absolute silence

 

Or like the waves on the beach as they roll in an out

 

In and out

 

In and out

 

Birth is…
