Dare Alla Luce Doula
Just now watching the movie “Under the Tuscan Sun”, the Asian American woman gives birth to the baby girl , they alluded to the Italian term for/to giving birth. I ran to my computer and here you, your photo, your translation appeared. How absolutely filled with Joy and Truth is this meaning. Leave it to the Italians to give the meaning of birth such depth and Love. We Americans have so much yet to learn.
