120 Days of Joy....

Today was a special day....

In Bibi's tradition, the 120th day of pregnancy is the day that the soul of the baby becomes more solidly linked to the mother.

Today was that day.

We had friends and family in to town for a special meal and a reading from the Sikh scriptures. The day was not in honor of the baby; there are many days and special events for that. Today was in honor of Bibi and the special role that Bibi will fulfill as the mother of our child.
"we are all born of a woman...compassion is learned in the lap of the woman and...
that peace is not possible anywhere that woman is not honored and respected
."
We came together as a group of friends and family, to embrace the sacred nature that a mother inherently possesses.

It was a special day.

Thanks for stopping by.
