Colleagues: It's funny thing. The smallest spaces need the most attention. Sometimes, the smallest are the largest.
On Tuesday (and for all of Monday and most of Sunday) I was opening space for my second child, a boy named Finn Sinclair Corrigan-Frost, who entered the world singing before he was fully born -- the Elders call it "bringing greetings from the spirt world" -- on Novemer 7. He was born at home in the company of two midwives, a doula, my partner's mother and our 3 year old daughter, Aine, who cut the cord and officially brought him into our world. It was a good birth and a long, but good labour. He is healthy and my partner Caitlin is doing really well. As we were walking around down by the ocean on Monday, with Caitlin in labour and a long day and night ahead of us, she turned to me and said "it's a funny thing being in labour. The old world has passed away and the new one has yet to begin. I feel like a spirit, invisible to everyone, dwelling in the boundary between the two worlds, holding space for what is about to come." You can see where I get my inspiration from. Anyway, those of you coming to our town in August will have a chance to meet Finn, and for others that are curious, I'm sure I'll find time in the next year or so (!) to put some photos on my web site. Right now I'd gladly pay anyone $1000 to break into to our place in the dead of night and do the dishes! Naturally responding to my email will be slow, and if you have questions about OSonOS IX that need immediate answers please send them to Laurel. I'll see everyone online soon.
