My wife is very pregnant right now. We’re going through these self-hypnosis exercises to help her mind and body remain calm. Tonight, her restless leg kept her from being able to focus. Yesterday she felt ill after laying on her back for a while. She lay in bed, the frustration building in her face, and I wanted so badly to take away her pain.
Each time she hurts and I see her in this vulnerable position, I look into her eyes and feel the pain of separation. I can’t reach her in that moment. She cannot feel my love. She does not know how much she means to me. She does not feel the amazement I know when I look at her soft cheek and kiss the top of her head.
I am convinced that there is a better way to connect. Perhaps if I deal with some of my issues, I will then exude the connective force needed to let her know. Maybe then she’ll feel safe enough to breathe deep and let go of all the things she clings to for a sense of structure and order in the world.
