Brigid challenges us to be people on our knees, that is, people midwifing new births for this moment in time. The good news is that we do not have to create the births. Our role, rather, is to midwife what is trying to come forth from deep within the human soul.*
Philip Newell

The midwife is never heard to say,
“No, no, this will never do!,”
But safely welcomes the newborn, and,
Before this,
Waits –
Two demanding skills we must develop for
this twenty-first century.
