ART: Ferenc Pintér
“Pregnancy is a numinous and magical state. It is a time when the barrier between the conscious and unconscious realm thins. It is a time to feel the presence of another soul developing alongside your own. It is a time when inner voices offer wise counsel louder and more clearly than usual, when we become aware that life is a continuum, when a woman may experience a bodily sense that everything around her is alive.”
“Our connection to the cellular mystery of life is vibrantly stark and immediate. When you are pregnant, the polite and restrictive masks of everyday life that we have each created to survive can be stripped away, and you are immersed in the very juice of existence.”
“No matter how many pictures of fetuses you look at or how many scientific facts you ingest, pregnancy remains a stunning, not-quite-possible-to-grasp marvel, a naked connection to the enigma of life.”
“You can’t escape the awe-and why would you want to?”
~Jennifer Louden, from The Pregnant Woman’s Comfort Book

@JULES & @JULIET Please know that if I knew who the artist was I most certainly would have included it. I take great care to credit all of the artist featured on this site and go to great lengths to try and pin down sources. The few images not credited on this site are because artist is unknown, You can read more in the INFO section.

This is a wonderful reminder of the magic and magnitude of pregnancy. It’s the perfect thing to share at my friend’s blessing way tonight.
