I've come across several people lately who have talked about "letting go" into something difficult. I haven't had children, but the approach of relaxing into a painful experience sounds very much like what you describe.<br /><br />Mud--Wow. It's amazing no one was hurt. I love what the Journal said this morning (quoting the Nat'l Weather Service)--"It has been a dynamic yet dreadful day across the Land of Enchantment..."Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297253093260251145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534450478022541384.post-92087171259549427712011-04-04T06:52:35.521-06:002011-04-04T06:52:35.521-06:00More of us around here could learn to plant things...More of us around here could learn to plant things that are well suited to our city's weather (wind and the rest).

We can take lessons from these flexible plants. It reminds me of one of the lessons of childbirth - breathe with the pain, relax when it comes, and it hurts much less.Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14949235207762990894noreply@blogger.com
