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

Birth is…
