(This poem was written by the VMM founder Edwina Gately, I got a copy of it at the VMM retreat last year and its hanging by my desk, I feel like I can relate to it a lot in my life now, but wanted to share it with all of you too! -laura)

Beginnings—

just tiny stirrings

which disturb our even surface,

prodding us into new and different shapes…

claiming their place

on our horizons—

stretching us

where we would not go—-

yet we must.

Driven by life fores

deeper than our dreams,

we dare to rise

and grasp towards

the new young thing—

not yet born—

but insistent—

like a tight seed bursting

for life,

carrying with it

all the power

of a woman’s

birthing thrust.
