Deep Time (cont'd)
Yesterday, we held a "Welcoming Ceremony" for Lily. Daughter Shael introduced a new ritual. Everyone had a turn to hold the baby (all swaddled up like a gift to the world) and personally, quietly, welcome Lily to the world. Watching people's faces as they held the baby and concentrated on their wishes, I could see them enter Deep Time, each person beautiful in the reflected light of the newborn.
