When one finds themselves in the space of bringing new life through them, there is an element of knowing. This can solidify the circumstances, and also begin a journey of unending pathways.
When a family is being created, and you are asked to support this, what I see to be done is witness the experience and creation.
The self-direction of an individual can bring them to their greatest power, and when an access point is created to drive this experience, the universe unfolds.
Undisturbed birth, self-directed birth, life changing birth is a gift to the universe, to humanity, and to the family.
A midwife who can hold this, is the midwife that I strive to be. Ever evolving, humble, and grateful.

THE TAO OF MIDWIFERY
~And so the midwife performs her work by doing nothing~
~She teaches without saying a word~
~Things arise, and she lets them come~
~Things leave, and she lets them go~
~Creating, not possessing~
~Working, but laying no claim~
~And when her work is done, she forgets it, and so it lasts forever~
--From the Tao, Translated by Whapio
