Born...again....and again

Birth is a difficult process.  It is hard for the mother.  It is also hard for the newborn.  The pushing, squeezing, cramping and all of the loss of the warm, darkened, safe space.  I feel like that.  Like I am learning what it is like to be born as myself.  To be who I am supposed to be.  Who am I?  Really? 
I am inquisitive.  curious.  passionate.  interested.  hopeful.  generous.  opinionated.  unsure. smart.  stubborn.  I'd like to say in a good way...but that just depends.  protective.  loving.  communicator.  searcher.  redeemed.  questioning.  good friend.  lousy friend.  I know, it seems opposite....but, really, I can be both.  more gentle than i seem.  sensitive.  compassionate.  wise.  timid.  shy.  introvert.  except for with my friends.  introspective.  tactile.  visual.  peace lover.  but, wave maker at times.  truth seeker. 
i am.  his.  and HE IS.  so, i can be. 
But the birth process isn't any easier now that I'm grown.  It's a process.  It takes time.  I just have to wait and go through the discomfort.  Until the first breath.  I believe it's coming soon.
