“Birth is vast and multifaceted; radiant and mysterious. Birth contains multitudes, and through her we birth our multitudes. We give birth to our hopes and our fears, to our ecstasies and our agonies, to our joy and our disappointments. We give birth to our babies, each one perfect and radiant. We give birth through our instincts, and we give birth to our instincts. We give birth to our capacity for instincts, which will match us perfectly with our babies, who are, and always will be, instinctive creatures. May we all be blessed through instinctive birth.”

“Birth leads to death, death precedes birth. So if you want to see life as it really is, it is rounded on both the sides by death. Death is the beginning and death is again the end, and life is just the illusion in between. You feel alive between two deaths; the passage joining one death to another you call life. Buddha says this is not life. This life is dukkha - misery. This life is death.”
“Birth, life, death. We think it is linear, but it is not. We think it is a circle but in truth, there are no lines to make a shape. There are no borders without lines. We do not travel a path from here to there. We are always on the path. It goes nowhere. It comes from nowhere. It is nowhere.”

“Birth
Lonely entering in to the new world with a small seed of LOVE,
Somewhere in the depth of the HEART.
Survival
Struggling with every step in all aspects and creating a lot of MEMORIES
to achieve our amazing GOALS and to get recognized.
Death
At the demise, where we pass away from this SPLENDID world like a tree
of LOVE in the entire HEART.
It’s all about, designing a seed of love beautifully in to a tree of love
before we pass away.
LIFE”
“Birth Matters... It matters because it is the way we all begin our lives outside of our source, our mother's bodies. It's the means from which we enter and feel our first impression of the wider world. For each mother, it is an event that shakes and shapes her to her innermost core. Women's perceptions about their bodies and their babies' capabilities will be deeply influenced by the care they receive around the time of birth.”

“Birth of the Cool' became a collector's item, I think, out of a reaction to Bird and Dizzy's music. Bird and Diz played this hip, real fast thing, and if you weren't a fast listener, you couldn't catch the humor or the feeling in their music. Their musical sound wasn't sweet, and it didn't have harmonic lines that you could easily hum out on the street with your girlfriend trying to get over with a kiss.”

“Birth on U.S. territory has never been an absolute claim to citizenship.”
“Birth order effects are like those things that you think you see out of the corner of your eye but that disappear when you look at them closely. They do keep turning up but only because people keep looking for them and keep analyzing and reanalyzing their data until they find them.”

“BIRTH ORDER, n. The sequence in which children are born into a family.
Firstborns, like only children, typically receive a lot of attention and later have
a slightly higher IQ. Once there is more than one child in a family, children
often compete viciously, or take opposing paths so they can’t be compared.
See ALFRED ADLER.”

“Birth, while transcendent, otherworldly, spiritual, and profound, is actually intense hard work that tests our ideas of what “spiritual” looks like and means. Birth exposes the sacred through the muck, mud, and hardship of something so profoundly animalistic that it makes us into something entirely new. This otherworldly place where great transformation happens is the sacred space of birth.”

“BIRTH, n. The first and direst of all disasters. As to the nature of it there appears to be no uniformity. Castor and Pollux were born from the egg. Pallas came out of a skull. Galatea was once a block of stone. Peresilis, who wrote in the tenth century, avers that he grew up out of the ground where a priest had spilled holy water. It is known that Arimaxus was derived from a hole in the earth, made by a stroke of lightning. Leucomedon was the son of a cavern in Mount Etna, and I have myself seen a man come out of a wine cellar.”

“Birthday Card To #Barbados
You are 166 sq miles
of sweet, undulating beauty-
replete with richness and contradiction.
I could never be all I am...
without you,
Never knew how hard I'd fall - especially
when I am away from you.
Happy Birthday, Bim”

“Birthday Gospel (Sonnet 2479)
The day that you are born, is the day
the planet becomes a bit more human -
Mother Earth whispers, let there be dawn,
from the vacuum of time emerges hope in action;
learning to live a little more,
by the making of memories, not passing seasons;
animals may grow old, humans grow whole -
every scar a scripture, every joy a sermon.
My brother used to say,
you are the ocean in a drop;
I say to you today -
desert are you, deluge are you,
in a crowd of fakes, only truth is you.”
