Pregnant Poems

By Ellen Farrell

Poems by Ellen Farrell about the cycles of life... what can be a magical time – before pregnancy, as we enter the journey of parenting – and all the way to end of life as we leave this physical plane of existence. Shalom and Namaste, we welcome the miracle of new life, just as we bless and feel deep gratitude for those who leave us behind, feeling the Spirit of endless love and the gift of being together. How ephemeral is our time on Earth! These poems capture some of the mystery, challenges, and beauty of the adventure we call life.

In Gratitude

Gratitude goes, first of all to my best friend all these years, my husband Doug – without whom I don’t know if I would have ever had the support needed to preserve my thoughts, and without whom I would have considerably fewer of those profound growth experiences, beauty and love to record. It has been a journey of learning Love – true freedom to share all of me, trust and loyalty in addition to the way we are there for each other. We encouraged claiming the precious moments of life and the fire of the dream (and to not give up) – I as able to mine the heart of my soul to be the best of myself. Love and Gratitude also to my dear children, Will, Sean, Grace, and our animal friends over the years, Gus, Doc, Annie, Katchina, Chloe, Lucky, Tenchi, Albus – and since 2018: Gandalf, and in 2020: Greta. To those family members who contributed to who I am today: Momma June, Tante Linda, brothers and Uncles, Jeff, Norman and Bob, Nana Berry , Tillie, Simon, Anne, Ruth, Helen, Dad/Paul, my 2nd-mom, my step-mom (Elizabeth), and those whom I only know from old photos, stories, dreams. To all my ancestors, I thank-you.

Heartfelt thanks go out to my dear students and clients. It’s been an honor and blessing to work in your energy, to have been some large or small part of your coming into the fullness of your being. I’ve seen your growth and joyful connections, as you had the beautiful courage to be fearless in asking How can I feel better, and be my best? I’m grateful for this work, which has helped some to get clear enough to completely change relationships and family dynamics for the better, to be able to have clarity where there was none, to heal the past, including past lives. I even contributed to bringing forth a child or two, and encouraged some souls to choose to stay here, appreciating the unfolding mystery of being here NOW. I’m often happily surprised at the beauty and strength of the human Spirit.

I would be nothing without my Spirit connection, and therefore give deep thanks to my dear Angels, Spirit helpers, and all those beings of light with and without bodies, who guide and protect. Being curious and cultivating this relationship (checking in regularly, listening, remembering to ask for help) has been a critical step to finding meaning and value in this great adventure as Spirit in form – infused and integrated – a SOUL with
