What do I long for?
What rests inside my heart? Right now, confusion. Mixed images of horror and happiness.
What do I long for? I long to feel peace and ease. Comfort and hope. I long to look forward joyously to the changes in my life. I long to have a vision of the future that is safe and happy and fulfilling. I long to feel in love with my babies.
What do i love? I love my husband and his steadfastness. I love the redwood trees outside my window. I love my clean room and house. I love my mom and her attempts to help. I love my friends and their ability to let me vent. I love all the mothers who share their birth stories and tell me it's all gonna be ok, that they were scared and confused too, and that they found birthing and raising kids to be more than worth it!
