Witness
(written 8/20/19) Last night I watched my friend give birth to her 10 pound baby. At her house…in a pool…in her bedroom…naturally. It was the most profound and powerful thing I have ever witnessed in my entire life. Just for a little background… Corrine and I are relatively new friends. We met through our mutual friend Angelina in 2016. And that was just through Facebook. I didn’t even meet her face to face until December of that year. When I was having a spiritual experience, supernatural is a more accurate description, Angie referred me to Corrine. So I, as a practical stranger, called her and told her all about it. She took it in stride, listened and offered support. She held space for me and my experience. She didn’t make me feel weird or crazy; she validated my feelings and made me feel safe. I’m forever grateful she was willing to talk to me, love me from a distance and freely give her friendship. Fast forward… Corrine,
