Crying, I will cry until I am satisfied, I will not compromise until I feel right and my needs are met. Period.\u00a0 Red in the face, wrinkled brow, opened mouth cry\u2026wail\u2026 until I am comfortable.\u00a0 2. Latching on, this is crucial knowledge that takes a couple of days to get the hang of but your average six dayer has got it down, latch on, hang on and get the sustenance I need. 3. Satisfaction not just satisfied but satiated!\u00a0 a baby will drink in the only thing she needs to sustain her with the force of her whole self, drinking in not just the mama milk but the mama love and comfort and trust, she will fill herself up beyond full.\u00a0 She will literally have to be popped off, so drunk with comfort and love she\u2019ll have to sleep it off\u2026until next time.<\/p>\n<p>What about us? How do we learn the 3 points of six-day-old wisdom?\u00a0 If we are not careful all three points in the creed could turn ugly\u2026there is nothing sweet about us grown-ups crying until we get what we want or latching on and not letting go, no compromise no backing down nor drinking till we are filled to the brim gluttonous and greedy.\u00a0 We need to simplify the equation, distill it if you will, to the best of what it means to be alive.\u00a0 1.\u00a0 Find comfort, if there\u2019s an itch, then scratch it, do what it takes to be comfortable in your own skin do not compromise being your true, whole self.\u00a0 2. Latch on to what sustains you. 3. Drink deeply of the love around you share this love drunkenly and with abandon knowing there is more to drink.<\/p>\n<p>Before I got in the car and said goodbye to my new friend and spiritual leader Izzy.\u00a0 I took a long deep breath of her. Smelling those sweet baby smells, letting the smell of her fill my lungs, filling each alveoli, letting the tiniest bit of her six-day-old wisdom merge into my blood stream pumped by my heart to every cell of my body. \u00a0I\u2019ll leave you with a favorite quote:<\/p>\n<p>I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am. <em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Sylvia Plath (The Bell Jar)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been thinking a lot about six-day-old wisdom this week (by the time I post this Ms. Izzy is 17 days old but 17 day old wisdom is probably more than my 17610 day old brain can fathom so [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[37,88,90],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-art","category-inspiration","category-mandala"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
