Visualize ..

I've been reading Don't Just Stand There (how-to book for deadbeat husbands) which included a few 'visualizations' to help along the labor process. I feel the need to share.

Flower
Imagine you are looking at a rosebud.
It's petals are warm red; the color gets deeper at the edges.
The petal feels like soft velvet.
There are tiny water drops clinging to the leaves and stem.
Slowly, slowly, you can see it bloom.
The petals widen and expand. They soften.
You can smell the roses sweet scent.
Now you can see deep inside the flower.
It is full of grace and beauty.

Makes me think of Georgia O'Keefe, who my mom had hung up in the upstairs bathroom that my brothers and I shared. Hmmmm
