"Going Back to My Roots", Connections
Birth is a rite of passage and by the end of it you've been through it together and you're in relationship to the baby. The baby is what comes at the end of the process of giving birth, and I think the more connected I am with the birth, the more connected I am with the baby.

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting;
The soul that rises with us, our life's star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home.

Launch'd from the docks, and stocks, and slips,
For fortune fair or fatal!
