It is easy for a person to imagine holding a newborn infant in one's arms - to feel the tiny body, to smell the freshness of the skin, to put one's finger in the baby's hands, to hear the gurgle in the stomach, to kiss the tiny cheeks. It is easy to bring the infant to your chest and to know the heartbeat connects with heartbeat. One can just look at the infant and gasp in wonder. You have the most beautiful face and I will spend hours gazing upon you in wonder and admiration. Time passes and you are caught up in mystery.
Imagine now your birth. Imagine that you are the one held, cherished, and admired. Consider the exhaustion of your mother and her loving gaze as she holds you for the first time. Imagine your father's feelings as he receives you into his arms. Allow yourself to be held with their joy and expectation for your presence, for your future. Soak in the love your parents gave you as you entered this world. Just allow yourself to be held in awe and love.
