Becoming

I have come to accept the fact that the only way to make it through this program is to surrender. It is all consuming. At times it feels as though some great external gravitational force is pulling at every cell in my body. It takes a sense of organization, not just for the stacks of papers and hand outs but organization of the mind. This program is seasoning us as Midwives, we are Midwives. We are gaining our experience and our knowledge through assignments, creating folders, information and protocols that we will use in our own practice. We are defining ourselves and what mid [with] + wife (in the archaic sense [woman] ) means to each of us.
