Here are the words of Ibu Robin:
“Gentle, natural birth and feeding children at the breast are very inexpensive models of care. They are also effective plans for building peace on Earth. ”
"I believe that we women are pregnant, the first time, for nine months, and that we are postpartum for the rest of our lives. This is good news, for what we learn becoming mothers is etched upon our hearts, souls and bodies forever. The hormone oxytocin, which makes it possible for you to conceive, give birth, and breastfeed your children, is the hormone of love. Mothers have the biggest capacity to love, due to the fact that once oxytocin has been made in your body, the receptors never go away, you are always more loving, and more loveable!"
" Today I pray for blessings to rain down on everyone of you, because the world needs you desperately, because I have grandchildren, and I want them to grow up in an Earthly garden of peace. Mothers are the key to building peace. My work as a midwife and advocate for " the possible family" is devoted to this planet healing. I am not an expert, but I am a mother, a grandmother, a foolish poet, a servant of women as a midwife. Thank you for being a mother. I love you."
