by the sea feels free, always even though often w by the sea
feels free, 
always
even though
often whimsical,
the unpredictable
what a place
to decide 
a commitment forever
people say 
why?
rather be free
me, me, me
why?
only unfree souls
perceive real love
as limiting, 
scarcity,
shortfall
of something
in lieu of
potential
and meaning
and wonder
of being with 
another human being
other than yourself
sharing life,
inspiration, aspiration
to the whole
outside of self
because
true, good, beautiful
always
greater than 
the only I

From my mini essay ‘The Beauty of Motherhood’: From my mini essay ‘The Beauty of Motherhood’:

«Only 5 months of life and our baby girl has already interacted with, and begun to discover and explore the world with her mama and papa: Dipped her toes in the refreshing Aegean ocean, felt the warm African wind on her skin, smelled blooming flowers, and heard buzzing bees, gazed at the shadows on the wall from huge palms, experienced amazing sunsets, and got a taste of Egyptian mango. She has also experienced love from her close family, kisses and laughs, hugs and cuddles, as well as warm and friendly interactions with strangers who don’t speak her mother tongue. 

Soon she will interact more deeply with the world around her, talk to familiars and strangers, play and have fun in the natural world, contemplate the dark night sky, and philosophize about things we adults have long forgotten that we once did not understand. While she will do all that and more, we will be there by her side, every step of the way, discovering, connecting, and exploring this astonishing planet of ours, and all the beautiful diverse cultures, human beings, and animals living here. Along the way, we will slowly but surely let go and allow her to take baby steps towards becoming independent, and free. Every good mother fails they say, and for good reason.»

glimpse from the third trimester, due month & the glimpse from the third trimester, due month & the last days before birth... 

my pregnancy has been a journey filled with wonder, serendipity, and revelation, and now after I’ve given birth, I can say that it ended with a beautiful beginning to a brand new adventure🌀🪷💙

I’m currently writing an essay about my *unmedicated planned home birth* which was a truly transformative experience. I’m so grateful for my choice, for taking the chance and trusting my innate ability to give birth to my baby without interventions, in the comfort of my own home, together with my partner and midwives that was familiar to me. I hope the essay will contribute to the conversation surrounding birth and bring more than fear, pain, risk, and disease to what it means to give birth to new life, as well as a recognition and honoring of the female body and what it is capable of… stay tuned!

leaving 2nd trimester, entering the last phase🌀 leaving 2nd trimester, entering the last phase🌀 it’s been a joyous ride, to say the least, filled with revelations, insights, feelings, and experiences that I will cherish forever. I love life, I love being and feeling alive, with all its ups and downs, risks and rewards, opportunities and obstacles, freedoms and responsibilities. that is the energy, the spirit, the vigor I will bring to the new life that is yet to be born. cheers to continuing to catch the next wave🎐
