Please, wait just a minute mister postman

Well, if there is one thing that reminds you to let your life organically unfold for you and be present it is birth. And not just the fun parts where you're working hard, and really feeling useful and necessary. Even moreso, the parts where you are so neutral and non-attached to the action, the results, the possibilities of the near future. I find myself saying to moms in labor who are doubting, " this is the only moment we have, and it is temporary". No room for stories, or worry about whats been done, how much is to come, just right now.... its way easier to hold on to and let go of than a big story about whats been happening and whats going to happen. What about when I'm just waiting??? Well, if I get a big story about how I've waited so long, and god knows how much longer I'll wait, its so hard not to be exhausted and attached to results. But when I just know that its right, and that I'll be where I'm needed, I can read a book, drink a beer, walk my dog, love my kids, sleep guiltlessly, eat nutritively. Still, I cant stop waiting for the mailman.
Practicing this non attachment is great for parenting and just being, but its way easier with birth, except for when its not. And no matter what, I'm always speculating about the mailman.
Somebody cool should teach me how to import music on my blog. I really like sound effects.
