Birth.

After prep, a beginning.

Birth comes to mind having witnessed the birth of my last two kids and arriving after the birth of the first.  Continuation.

Parenting might be a different thing from bearing kids.

I was giving lectures/discussions about Shakespeare at a local high school while I appeared in a pro production locally.  My son was a baby and I brought him along in his stroller.

The teachers and kids doted on him.  And one boy admitted to fathering a child.

I immediately said it was a great responsibility and was he prepared to help raise the baby.  His silence spoke volumes. 

Many are given up for adoption.  They are brought in, made part of a family, with all the rights and importantly the love and support of that family.

We will discuss another time how some babies are born and treated as objects.  We'll talk about exploitation soon.  And rescue as well as prosecuting perpetrators.

Figuratively we can prep something then put it into action.  Movies have development, preproduction, production and postproduction.  It's all analogous to desire, gestation and birth then raising kids.  The same can be true for other plans, such as a country to spring forth.

This is abundantly clear with the US.  It was conceived, declared and acted upon many levels.  And there has been much adopted into the US family.

Remember, many of us were born and raised here.  Others came from near and far to be adopted with citizenship in all its totality.

ALL of us are children of Freedom.

It is priceless birth.
