Narrative: Mary’s time to deliver has come. Strengthened in the embrace of experienced midwives, she is prepared for the labor and pain of giving birth. The women’s eyes are closed in heightened awareness and communion with creative forces within. Lips parted, Mary is exhaling – surrendering her breath and being to the Divine at work and shining through her – as the classic symbol of inspiration and new life hovers above.
Janet McKenzie’s Mary with the Midwives invites women everywhere to the awareness and naming of their own labor to bring new life to others as the act of giving birth to the Divine – in their babies, their work, their art and in their care of the earth – through the support, facilitation and advocacy of other women.
