Swaddled in a white blanket my great grand son Jayden lays quietly. His mother, Albenia, lays exhausted in the hospital bed, after just birthing Jayden. He was nestled near her heart. I walked closer to be introduced to this most precious child. I saw at once tinny little hands perfect in the way they laid on his mothers’ breast. They where spread open, each precious little finger long and elegant with delicate little nails. The way that this touched the very cord of Great Grandma Meme, (GG MeMe), is indescribable.
I reached over to introduce myself. I stroke this wonderful little hand lying across his mother breast. I touched the top of Jaydens hand and gentle said, “hello my beloved”. My heart skipped a beat. In my ear I can hear the voice of my beloved Elder Grandmother Pa'Ris'Ha the first time she says to me, "Hello Beloved". I know in every molecule of my being for the first time in my life I am beloved. This was the gift I wanted to share. I want this most precious of beings to know what it means to be a beloved. Jaydens tiny little hand reaches to touch mine and he is holding my finger. The whole word stopped and nirvana is present.
Today Jayden is 2years old. GG MeMe touch the top of his hand Jayden stops and looks me in the eyes no words are spoken but for a moment we are in harmony and all around us is peace. We know we are beloved. And so are you.
