For birthing people + new parents in the pandemic/s

(Covid, colonialism, racism, all of them):

 

Our teachings tell us that before a child is born they see all that their life will be and then in their first exercise of agency, come into the world, fully aware.

 

What strong babies we have, they have seen what’s to come and still chose to step forward.

 

This is a hard time to have a baby.

We were never meant to parent in isolation, or in fear.

 

Rest your heart on the knowing that the children we are raising up, are the medicine that’s needed.
