  8. A quotation from Euripides

    JASON: O children, what a wicked mother she was to you!
    MEDEA: They died from a disease they caught from their father.
    JASON: I tell you it was not my hand that destroyed them.
    MEDEA: But it was your insolence, and your virgin wedding.
    JASON: And just for the sake of that you chose to kill them.
    MEDEA: Is love so small a pain, do you think, for a woman?
     
    [ἸΆΣΩΝ: ὦ τέκνα, μητρὸς ὡς κακῆς ἐκύρσατε.
    ΜΉΔΕΙΑ: ὦ παῖδες, ὡς ὤλεσθε πατρῴᾳ νόσῳ.
    ἸΆΣΩΝ: οὔτοι νιν ἡμὴ δεξιά γ᾽ ἀπώλεσεν.
    ΜΉΔΕΙΑ: ἀλλ᾽ ὕβρις οἵ τε σοὶ νεοδμῆτες γάμοι.
    ἸΆΣΩΝ: λέχους σφε κἠξίωσας οὕνεκα κτανεῖν;
    ΜΉΔΕΙΑ: σμικρὸν γυναικὶ πῆμα τοῦτ᾽ εἶναι δοκεῖς;]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Medea [Μήδεια], l. 1363ff (431 BC) [tr. Warner (1944)]

  9. Ce matin alors j’allaite Bibou après avoir passé un moment avec lui, il se rendort et en moins de 10 minutes je suis passé d’une recherche « comment savoir que la couche est pleine sans l’indicateur la nuit » car j’ai constaté qu’elle était biiiien rempli ce matin à « les indicateurs d’humidité toxique pour les bébés » et je suis arrivé à « l’exploitation des placentas ».
    Et voilà mon cerveau qui panique et se demande si j’aurai du récupérer le placenta car bien sûr pour la culpabilité parentale je vois une vidéo où le placenta est déshydraté, encapsulé, le cordon conserve sec en forme de joli cœur, la vidéo parle de la valeur ancestrale et des traditions autour. Mon cœur se serre j’ai « encore raté » quelque chose dans mon début de parentalité.

    En fait c’est ça la difficulté dans le fait d’être jeune parent. Déjà qu’accueillir un nouvel être dont on a la responsabilité exclusive c’est intense à vivre, on vit dans une société pleine de dogme, de contradiction, avec peu d’accompagnement à nous demander ce qu’on veut vivre plutôt que ce qu’on veut faire, à nous dire ce qu’on doit faire et comment vivre notre posture.
    Pour ma part j’ai pu pratiquer le clampage tardif ça veut dire que mon fils est resté relié au placenta un moment après la délivrance afin de tirer tout les nutriments dont il avait besoin de cet alter ego organique.
    J’ai aussi eu la bienveillance de ma sage femme qui m’a proposé l’empreinte du placenta.

    Alors oui j’aurai pu faire mieux

    • garder l’empreinte magnifique qu’elle m’avait faite mais qu’elle trouvait raté car il y avait du sang
    • récupérer le placenta pour en faire un soin ou le planter avec un arbre pour que mon fils grandisse dans le monde humain et symboliquement par la terre
    • pratiquer le bébé lotus en permettant à mon fils de vivre plus doucement la scission entre nos corps
    • honorer le placenta en le touchant et le regardant lui dire merci avant qu’il parte au déchet.

    Oui j’aurai pu faire tout ça au mieux.
    Pourtant j’ai déjà fait de mon mieux le jour même. Ce jour où à minuit je suis réveillé par des douleurs, à une heure je réveille mon compagnon je m’inquiète, puis je vomis de douleur j’ai peur, 17 heure de « travail » et surtout 17 heures de nouvelles sensations, d’un corps qui nettoie des mémoires pour accueillir de nouveaux souvenirs, de douleurs qui terrifie jusqu’à ce qu’on me les explique, de connexion avec ma sage femme et mon compagnon, de ressentis à la fois d’amour et de dépassement de soi. Ce jour là jnai fait de mon mieux.

    Puis je vraiment choisir consciemment de me juger au moment où on m’a demandé si je voulais garder le placenta de dire « non pas cette fois » alors que oui c’est mon premier enfant, car justement c’est mon premier enfant.
    Quand j’observe la difficulté pour moi de trouver mon rythme les premiers mois, d’assumer mes besoins, de faire face aux stimulus olfactif du cordon et du sang de nos corps respectifs durant le post partum, puis je consciemment me juger d’avoir su dire « non pas cette fois » car mon cerveau voulait se recentrer et concentrer sur ce petit être vivant que je venais de fabriquer.

    Alors certes j’aurai pu faire autrement, j’ai rêvé de faire autrement mais le jour J j’ai choisis de faire comme je l’ai fait et c’était que le mieux que je puisse faire à l’instant T.
    J’en suis fière car ça a été assumé et choisi. Parfois j’écoute mes pensées qui jugent que c’était pas « assez » incarné dans mes pratiques et valeurs spirituelles et je les accueille avec tendresse car ces pensées elles n’ont pas vécus le moment incarné de la naissance qu’elles questionnent et remettent en question.
    Non elles sont comme des observatrices extérieures qui appellent au faire autrement ce qui n’est plus changeable.

    Et c’est là où je me dis que plutôt que sans arrêt nous rabâcher sur les réseaux qu’on pourrait faire autrement, dans la vie qu’on a raté des événements et si on s’accompagnait tous tendrement, reconnaissant qu’on a fait de notre mieux sur le moment, préparant ensemble le futur instant.

    Pas de regret, quelque mes pensées, j’apprends à honorer ma maternité, le foyer parentale que je construis et je remercie la vie de m’avoir permis de choisir.

    Je suis capable de prendre soin de moi même, de mon fils même quand je pense que je pourrais être encore mieux. Tout simplement parce que je suis chaque jour, une nouvelle mère, une autre femme, une personne qui évolue. Aujourd’hui capable de autre chose qu’hier je peux être tenté de blâmer ce que j’ai été et je choisis de remercier ma moi passe de m’avoir amené où je suis aujourd’hui.

    Je choisis d’être l’adulte, la personne que j’aimerai avoir à mes côtés pour me conseiller, me consoler, m’accompagner, m’aimer.
    Et ça commence maintenant 🙏🏽❤️✨

  10. An Open Letter to My Mom | On Rest and Finding My Song

    Dear Mama,

    I know you are concerned about me. Whenever we talk lately, you mention my busyness and remind me to get rest. I have been listening and trying to heed your counsel. I am finding my way back to rest, not the superficial kind though. Not the simple pause between one workday and the next. Deeper rest. The kind that reaches all the way down into the soul and settles there. The kind where I set everything down. Not only the nine-to-five but the everyday scurrying and hurrying and the soul-wearying mental and emotional clutter that silences the song in my throat.

    Perhaps, without realizing it, that’s what you have been reminding me—to not neglect my song.

    And there’s something else I’m hearing when you urge me to rest. My rest helps you rest. 

    You have spent nearly your entire life working in one way or another. It began when you were just four years old, when you were left alone to watch your infant sister while your mother—my grandmother—ran an errand. You received that instruction and you followed it dutifully. I have watched you live that life my whole life: always operating between the lines, never straying, always obedient to what is right and what is good. You have worked hard and tirelessly. To the exhaustion of your mind, your body, and your soul.

    When you tell me to rest, it’s because you know exactly what a life looks like without it. Because you knew that life. And because you had two beautiful daughters—mothers also—taken before they could know a life of true rest, before they could set the load down, before they could find their song. Your deepest concern comes from that place of motherly love and protection but also from grief. 

    Your worry is valid. I have not rested well lately. Not exactly because of work, but because my mind and soul have been laboring, trying to manage the multiplicity of complicated and tangled things that have made me too exhausted to rest and live in my song.

    I have watched you my entire life. Read your prayers scribbled on paper, notes written in the margins of scripture. And from those pages, I have learned how to walk when the demands of life are heavy. I have learned how to shift the weight, and when to lay it down entirely. 

    I have also learned new things: the ache of silent endurance of pain has taught me that silence isn’t always best.

    So, I am stilllearning how to speak aloud the things that need to be named if only to undo their hold on me. I’ve seen enough to know the things we leave unspoken are the things that keep us fettered.

    A couple of years ago, you sent a birthday card too late that arrived right on time. I will keep your words to myself [they belong between us], but you reminded me of my purpose and my gifts. I return to that card often, to make sure I do not stay sidetracked too long. 

    When I look at my own son, I see a bit of me that I inherited from you—the gift of being unbothered by what does not matter and holding close what does. I am grateful for that.

    [By the way, forgive me for the sins of my foolish youth, when I did not value you enough. I am still not sure how you managed to raise such a brat. 😂]

    Thank you for pointing me back toward rest and song. I am listening now.

    Happy Mother’s Day!

    I prefer to forget the first commercial #pantomime I ever attended. It was in #Wimbledon and my #mother took my brother and I to see the show which starred Adam Faith. It was two hours with fingers in my ears trying to keep out the #screaming of all the older #teenage #girls in the audience.

  20. Homeschool Mama

    ABC'S and 123's Teaching young ones how to read. Next Geometry and Chemistry. Now on to ancient history. Back to letters and the sounds they speak. All the while a toddler is tugging at my knee. The dog needs to be fed and probably outside to pee. But right now I am chilling in ancient Greece and teaching about Socrates. The life of a homeschool mama isn't for the weak. Through every lesson, it's His strength we seek.
