Wombs

    Swimming in the warm waters of the Terra Nostra volcanic spring in the Azores, my wife commented that she felt so close to the Earth. I felt the same way. It was almost as if we were foetuses floating in the soothing, nutrient-rich amniotic fluid of Mother Earth’s womb. We all long to feel safe and secure, embalmed and enfolded. Fortunately, we do not need a volcanic spring, because love has the same effect. The love of partners, family, friends and community acts like a buffer, a protective and nurturing emotional womb that lets us develop.
