Charlene Costanzo wrote The Twelve Gifts of Birth which is our favorite book, because the children feel calmer after visiting it.
The first gift is Strength.
"The world never loses an atom; it is our self which suffers."~Tagore
Open yourself to being part of the world and you will truly feel strong and never alone because you have you and you are part of the everything. ~Amy Sperry Faldet
"The fruit clings to its stem, its skin clings to the pulp, and the pulp to the seed so long as the fruit is immature, so long as it is not ready for its course of further life. Its outer covering and its inner core are not yet differentiated and it only proves its life by its strength of tenacity.
But when the seed is ripe its hold upon its surrounding is loosened, its pulp attains fragrance, sweetness and detachment, and is dedicated to all who need it. Birds peck at it and it is not hurt, the storm plucks it and flings it to the dust and it is not destroyed. It proves its immortality by its renunciation."~Tagore
It is love and compassion in physical form.
