I am hoping by equating life with childbirth I will eventually feel what my intellecut is telling me. It's not really childbirth per se... it's the moment after the second childbirth... the moment when you realize that for 9 months you weren't sure if you could ever love something the way that you love Offspring #1 and you realize that, yes, you can. This equation isn't necessarily about love, child love, parental love, romantic love, or otherwise... it's about the process of discovering that truth.

Professionally, personally, emotionally, spiritually -- this equation can be experienced anywhere I believe and I believe when you experience it, it is a gut wrenching and complete opening of the heart.

It might be a good thing, however, to have these experiences independently of each other.
