Baby Namings

The ultimate joy.  It gets no better than this!

 

I can help you choose from and assemble a range of poems, songs, prayers, and rituals that will make the ceremony maximally meaningful for family and friends -- and most memorable for you.  Whether a brit bat for a girl, the public part of a boy's brit, or a non-binary celebration of emergence into the world and into your family, we'll ensure that your child will be adored for who they are, and who they are becoming. 

 

As Khalil Gibran wrote (and Sweet Honey in the Rock famously set to music):  "Your children are not 'your' children; they are the sons and the daughters of life's longing for itself..."

And per a favorite song suggestion (from folksinger, Unitarian minister & eco-activist Fred Small):​

​

You can be anybody  you want to be / You can love  whomever you will

You can travel any country where your heart leads / And know that we will love you still / 

You can live by yourself; you can gather friends around / You can choose one special one

And the only measure of your words & your deeds / will be the love you leave behind when you're done
