Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Our new little grandson was born yesterday in the afternoon, and I was with my daughter and her husband throughout labor and delivery.  My daughter kept thanking me for being there, and I was so touched by all the love they both expressed and how instantly in love with their son they were.  What a privilege it was to witness such joy.  The nurses and doctor were encouraging and kind, and the atmosphere one of support and kindness.  What a miracle the entire birth process is, and how like warriors we women are.  We are fierce and courageous and determined.  We breathe through the pain for the baby.  Every woman who has given birth is a hero to me.  I believe we should be proud of our power and our capacity for bringing a living being into the world.
