An a-ha moved
through me today
Breathed it up
and out and swoooosh -
I
held it in my waiting arms and fed it
Through my
aware breast milk
I felt the
tingle of the let-down as I
nourished this
a-ha, this beloved,
this moment of
“ohhh, there you are
I have waited
so long for you” - -
Look into its
blinking wide blue
unmedicated
eyes --
A-ha, beloved
one, beguiling and
charming
insight
What are you
here to teach me?
I feel a
foundling sob rumble so
pulling the
babe-a'ha into my heart
We nuzzle each
other
and know this is it - -
I held it in my waiting arms and fed it
Through my aware breast milk
Love that!

A beautiful insight into what it is to experience the mother and babe connection!
