And when my moon blood stopped coming…
I knew this was going to be a very different kind of adventure – for you and me.
Om…
Shanti…
You’d reply to Me… with a smile.
And I’d look down, look at my fingers,
straighten my clothes…
One finger under my chin and you tilt it upwards and look into my eyes straight and hard with that assessing look on your face… and this time a smile broke out on your face and your eyes began to dance with a sparkling light.
And I couldn’t help but smile back helplessly and I began to laugh and you picked me up and lifted me up above you, and spun me around.
What shall we name him or her?
you whispered into my ear and I ran away laughing…
Where are you going with my child Shanti!
And you’d run after Me
And grab me and hug me from behind.
Now you can’t go anywhere you’d whisper into my neck and kiss it, while you held me and I turned around and hugged you tight.
I wouldn’t want to
Anyway…
I know you’d say.
I’m scared Om…
Me too baby… but good scared like excited… scared out of my mind scared, you know?
And I’d nod and laugh but be frightened all at the same time.
You just held me then, to you and put your hand on my head as you do…
I know you’ll be a great Mother Shanti…
And I’ll be the best Father I can for you and the baby.
And I smiled, now in tears
I know… I whispered
I know Om.
I’d walk up and down, up and down as I grew in size… as the baby grew inside of me… and you’d hold my hand and walk with Me.
We did it together.
All of it.
All the check-ups, and the preparations and the baby’s room in the palace…. it was all Me and You… and help whenever we needed it.
If I wanted berries that grew on the other side of the mountain at 3 am (if time was recorded then) you’d go get it yourself despite all our attendants.
You always said – we’d do this together. If she has a craving, I fulfill it. If she needs to walk, I hold her hand. If she needs to breathe, I breathe with her.
We do this together.
We are
Om Shanti.
And you did… and we did.
Together.
In all the pain of labour you just held my hand and roared
Where is My Warrior?
And that look came into my eyes –
Durga Maa…
And Her Shiva.
That – was How We Delivered.
As All of Us – In One
The Only Way How
We Could.
As One.
When they gave me the baby… and I held Him in my arms, I looked up at you, with blood all over you from helping me in labour… helping us deliver him safely…
And I smiled at You.
Om Shanti
I said.
You nodded… Yes.
And you held him and took him outside… and lifted him up for all those waiting outside our cliffside Palace by the Sea.
The animals, all the creatures of the Land, Skies and Sea
and you lifted him up and said
Om Shanti.
And they roared in response with flowers flying in the air and your tears and all the acclaim and applause and love that poured forward from Our Kingdom for Us.
The King and Queen’s Heir
was born
to continue our line, and ensure prosperity, harmony and peace… for all the days to come.
This is why it was important.
It was for the whole world.
So even as I had as much unworthiness of our child –
Brahman.
I knew, it was for all of us.
And my Love
for All of Us…
For Brahman… is stronger than my unworthiness of Him.
And from that place… I am
The Great Mother.
