How to meditate with a baby…

Lie down in a comfortable place.
Latch baby on.
Feel your bodies relax and become
Suffused with peace.
Rest your nose in his hair.
Inhale.

Previously published in New Beginnings and in Compleat Mother. I decided that I need to remember to post some of the things that I’ve written and had published various places. This poem popped into my head one afternoon when I was nursing Z to sleep during an illness—he’d been wanting to nurse A LOT and I had spent a lot of time doing so during a several day time period.
