Intrepid Murmurings

Do we get to see a picture of you? What a fine
bunch of moms.....you are in good company.....

"Know that your body nurtures the spirit,
helps it grow, and then gives it wrong advice.

The body becomes, eventually, like a vest
of chainmail in peaceful years,
too hot in summer and too cold in winter.

But the body's desires, in another way, are like
an unpredictable associate, whom you must be
patient with. and that companion is helpful,
because patience expands your capacity
to love and feel peace.

The patience of a rose close to a thorn
keeps it fragrant. It's patience that gives milk
to the male camel still nursing in its third year,
and patience is what the prophets show to us." Rumi

Hope that you are mustering up the 'patience expand(ing) your capacity to love and feel peace' AND that you will soon be peacefully holding and loving those soon-born babes!
