Every midwife knows
that not until a mother's womb softens from the pain of labor
will a way unfold and the infant find that opening to be born.
Oh friend! There is treasure in your heart,
it is heavy with child.
Listen.
All the awakened ones, like trusted midwives,
are saying, welcome this pain,
It opens the dark passage of Grace.
Rumi
Poet of the heart, Rumi is exquisite.
