Direct Lines will undergo a brief suspension due to an absolutely ADORABLE
7 lb, 1 oz Baby Girl - healthy and as Awake as Padmasambhava - born this morning at 27 minutes into morning Brahmamuhurti (Hour of God); that's 4:27 am in Western time. Her face and demeanor radiate the presence of a bodhisattva. and i ain't just laying that line on you cuz i'm her daddy, you hear whaddyam sayin'?
Leave it to a family of ilgs to take on the challenge of 'flipping' 9/11 into an ongoing cause for the highest of all celebration! Absolutely perfect!
Joy, a 40 year old rookie at childbirthing totally cranked off her Divine Workout*
with impeccable, well-trained elegance. no meds. not one whine. not one complaint.
just about 7 hours of a LOT of WF and HP Yoga style Ujjayi Pranayam, Hum Sa, and Mula Bandha!
it was my deepest Honor to be present every step of the way...and cutting the umbilical cord with a mantra on the exhale.
before getting back to my Beloved(s) bedside,
on behalf of Joy and our Baby Girl,
i just need to THANK ALL OF YOU for sending us your Love, Light, and your Gifts of Spirit and Material Metta over these past luscious nine months!
i will release a picture and the name of my baby daughter on DIRECT LINES
as soon as other Priorities recede.
thank you again, from the deepest of my heartspace...
i bow to you from beneath the Sacred Peak,
on this most auspicious of days to bring the Light
by carrying the Torch into the Darkness...
love,
daddy warrior ilg
*special thanks to local HP Yogin Chris Latham whose UPS appearance at our doorstep, during twilight Brahmamuhurti yesterday evening in angelic demeanor and bearing a much needed shipment of BioBuilde Amino Acids for Joy's Divine Workout and Recovery, spoke so lovingly with Joy about childbirth and childrearing. it turned out that it was he that became the Catalyst to start Joy's rushes (we don't call them 'contractions'...just like we did not once use the word, 'labor', instructing the hospital staff to refer to contractions as 'rushes' and the labor as, 'The Divine Workout.')
