RE: POEM: As Many Times as it Takes

in #poetry6 years ago

That is such a great metaphor to keep in mind. Nourishing ourselves is so important, yet doesn’t seem to be valued as much more than a luxury in our culture. Some days all I can do is be a mommy, and I’m still depleted from having twins, even after 4 years. My TCM reminds me that postpartum is 2-5 years for one child, so I have to remember to be kind to myself. Making humans from scratch means giving a lot of yourself.

Thank you for such a wonderful comment. 💞
