Every midwife knows
that not until a mother’s womb
softens in the pain of labor
will a way unfold and the infant
find that opening through which it can be born.
O my friend, there is treasure in your heart,
and it is heavy with child.
Listen!
All the awakened ones, like trusted midwives
are saying to you, “Welcome this pain.
Let it open the dark passageway of grace."
-- from Rumi
