So long as we remain disconnected from ourSelves, we simply go on replicating that which we have been socialized to know.

It is impossible to have a whole relationship when we believe ourselves (and the other person) incomplete halves.

Creating life from love is pure MAGIC!

Parenting from the space of deep trust and self-intimacy feels safe, solid and expansive.

In my short time as a parent, however, I have learned that nothing is as "natural" as cultural conditioning would have us believe.

The metaphor couldn't be clearer -- I am ready to take on the role of the matriarch in my own family.

Yes, I am bringing a child into this world with collapse/extinction at the forefront of my mind.

For me, choosing to have a biological child is a necessary expression of the Soul, bare naked.

I surrendered to the deep trust I have of the brilliance of the body to do what it knows intimately how to do --create and sustain the miracle we call life.

What would happen if, instead of teaching our children to trade in their innate curiosity for a life of attachments that promises to keep them safe, we taught them to look within for the answers? What if we taught them that they are valued, loved, cared for, regardless of their external accomplishments? What if we taught them to question everything, including us? What if, instead of pressuring them to become someone we accepted them exactly as they are? What if we allowed them space to chant, to express themselves creatively, to play without restrictions, to care less about their appearance, to love themselves unconditionally, to love animals and Gaia, to befriend everyone, to trust their instincts, to always speak their truth, to connect to their ancestors, to meditate, to just be themselves?What a wonderful world we would create.
