Giving Birth

Absolutely fascinating! Yet I'm terrified to put myself through it.
I'm presenting a monologue 2 weeks from now on Giving Birth. I find it so hard to sink into an expectant mother-to-be zone. All I'm showing is how the serpant scored and in the end new life was let out through that exotic dam in, one big sigh. I wish the whole process would be as smooth & quick as my 4 min monologue!
I can only try to guess the various emotions she goes through, I need to physically go through that process to fully phathom it. No matter how many times my friends have explained that process, I can never ride their estatic feeling and its so funny how sincere they are in hoping beyond hope to make me understand. From my side- 'wows', itching the ear lobes & painful plastic smiles..
Ahh I'm excited about giving Birth....

Reminded me of this quote by David Trumble. He's a British film writer/director and a political cartoonist as well. The quote goes like this -

"I wanted to analyze how unnecessary it is to collapse a heroine into one specific mold, to give them all the same sparkly fashion, the same tiny figures, and the same homogenized plastic smile."
