Miracle of Life: Owen Joshua Ayers
Owen Joshua Ayers
Well, here he is… our newest little boy, Owen Joshua Ayers. For those of you who followed it on Twitter, you got a semi-blow-by-blow. If not, Owen was born at 12:54 pm (EST) on Wednesday, October 21st. It was a beautiful experience, and Kelly did an amazing job.
You know how they say that if you can suspend thought for just a moment you would allow the presence, who you really are, to seep in and it would expand and all that? After coaching and saying, “PUSH!” about 50 times, this little guy came out and all time stoo still. No thoughts, no mind chatter. Just absolute brilliant joy and an overwhelming sensation of LOVE! I wouldn’t call it enlightenment, but if that’s what enlightenment is like, then I don’t think I would be able to function. Owen is my third child, and that feeling never dulls. It’s so beautiful. Thank you all for being a part of it!

He is at peace in the continuum that just is…..perfect. He is mom and you and the room and warmth and milk and hugs and blankets and smiles, he….is all of it.
So are ‘we’ all.
Well done, so lovely to follow the story, it made my day.

I know… and when does all of that change, and why?
I really appreciate that you followed it. Thanks again Lune.
Nothing changes really, it just feels like that sometimes. Birth, death, awakening, frustration, all just a story played out in a field of consciousness that just is…….this.
What could be beyond consciousness???
You are welcome, it was the least I could do……….x
Congrats to you and the family! Wonderful, and curious how such events arrive in our awareness now-adays….
Lune – what would be beyond consciousness? Do you want the answer? (laughs) Consciousness too has a source. Who you are…
Thank you Davidya. It is, as you say, wonderful, and curious.
Oh my gosh…Your post makes me want to have kids! Congratulations! He’s adorable.
Oh you should! It’s such an amazing thing. You can never really understand what unconditional love means until you have a child. It drastically changed my life, and started me on this philisophical, spiritual search I’m on, questioning everything. Children are wonderful gifts!
Hey Mike, following the birth was very sweet and exciting. A real 21st century birth! Did Kelly want to kill you for Tweeting or did you keep it low key? Presumably you’ll be dealing with sleep deprivation now, and the altered state of mind can stand in nicely for some kind of enlightenment “experience” if I remember correctly. My son didn’t sleep through until he was 3, years not months, and I rarely knew who I was or where I was most of the time! Good luck with that. He’s gorgeous, your son. Newborns aren’t always so attractive, especially when they’re projectile vomiting down your shirt!
And I have to add your Twitter picture is fantastic. You look such a kid. What a uniform!
Definitely low key, although she did say a few words about it when I was texting during some contractions. I told her the night before that I thought this was a great way to keep our friends in the loop, and she agreed. I’m glad you participated. The first night was rough, no sleep! But last night was wonderful. Little booger is sleeping non-stop now, waking up just to eat and poop. Thank you for the comment on his looks. Takes after his momma!
I was on our desktop when I signed on with Twitter, and the only pictures I had were some that I’d scanned earlier to put on Facebook, the Navy photo being one of them. That was taken about 20 years ago when I was on a Destroyer based out of Mayport, Florida. The Navy was a good start for me out of high school. I hated it, but I kind of miss it now, 16 years later.
He’s sleeping non-stop? I hate you! (Not really.) You definitely suit the navy uniform! It’s a bit silly. Not everyone can pull it off.
AAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW! Such a beautiful boy! Welcome Owen Joshua.
Reminds me of how amazing life really is. I mean, it could have been just nothing, but here we are, all of us, filled with life. Amazing when you really think about it.
Congrats on you and the whole family.
Thanks Chris. How’s the search comin’?
No problem Mike. Search is still going strong, though these days I don’t have all that much time to devote to it!
That’s great news (not having time to devote to it)! Me too!
Beautiful Mike, absolutely beautiful. Owen, in this (or any) moment IS life and innocence….”I know… and when does all of that change, and why?” Why indeed, but I can’t help thinking, “Does it have to? for any of us!” Now there’s something to contemplate.
Anyway it’s great to know everyone is healthy and happy. Congratulations.
Thank you Eric. Good question. I look into his eyes, looking into mine, and I wonder what he sees, and if he thinks, and if so, of what. Amazing!
What a corker! A real beauty! I know everyone’s sproggs are to them.. but he has a beautiful and beautific face and the best button nose. It’s an amazing thing to bring another human being into… being! Best to you all.
How very sweet of you, Viv. Thank you very much!
Congratulations and love to you and your family, my friend.
Thanks Randall! I’m lovin’ it right now! Great piece about Mooji, by the way. I love that guy!
Still enjoying your tweets, glad all going OK! Such a lovely and bizarre way to communicate in this world of etherealness x x x x x x
Thanks for following! I’ve been just texting into a black hole for all I’ve known. Strange method of communication though. No feedback. Just me talking. Weird. But it’s easy to do, and I guess later on, if I just want to drop something out in the universe, then that’s just as good a method as any. So far, it’s mainly been about Owen because of the original intent, but I can see it just being about stupid, ordinary, every-day kinda stuff, too.
Oh, and I loved your post this morning. I don’t know how to comment on your blog sometimes because it seems as if I’m reading poetry, which I’m very ill-equipped to comprehend, much less discuss.
You can link your WP posts to your Twitter feed so that it automatically tweets the link of your latest post out to the Universe (I think the button is under the publish button).
Sometimes it is quite nice just to broadcast into a black hole, don’t you think?
Guess I’ll start doing the tweet-link thingy, then. Sounds easy enough. And yes, it is nice… black hole.
There’s even a tool to have your tweets compile into a periodic blog post. Tom Stine has been doing that. Personally, I enjoy exploring the ideas a little more.
