I walked into a room gently decorated with natural light. The fan made a soothing sound and the air smelled of sweet calm. She labored in the midst of this familiar comfort till it was time for her to journey to the birth place. After meeting the sun-kissed fresh air, she walked along a path around a twinkling pond, stopping to breath and focus. She found a place under a tree by the water and rested in her husband’s arms. Swans and geese came close, ever so quietly watching her labor unfold. The peace and beauty and strength of God filled this space around and in between this family.
To witness these true and yet surreal moments was an absolute gift.
