Surrender to the Birthing

Beneath the chatter of the mind

Exists quiet

Amidst the waves of emotion

Exists emptiness

Within the activity of life

Exists stillness

Beyond the doing

Being is

From the being

Life births itself

Recognize the pregnancy 

Of each and every moment

Breathe into the labor pains

Surrender to the birthing

Let the maiden pass away

Initiate into mother

Die into life
