"Birth is the beginning - the beginning of life, the beginning of parenthood, the beginning of family. Every woman who births must make the journey - cross the boundary - into motherhood."
"You can't give birth and stay in the same place. It requires an internal journey the likes of which she may never before have experienced."
"Giving birth is heroic. Having life pass through you is heroic. Becoming a mother is heroic."
