Nico Tortorella Instagram – 🔻🔺 Posting this video again as I sit at the Los Angeles airport, missing my family deeply after a week apart. In a burst of inspiration, I wrote “La Santa Madre” in our basement, the lyrics and melodies unfolding in just 40 minutes. It felt as though a divine presence guided me, speaking through me in a language all its own. When I shared it with Bethany, we were both astounded. This song, a tribute to the divine feminine—the creation, our home base, the origin and destination—seemed predestined. As if foretelling Kilmer’s arrival, it filled the air with magic months before she was born. And once again as she emerged.
The night Kilmer was born transformed us. We see more, know more, are more. Each time I watch this video, I am increasingly impressed with Bethany’s ability to hold space and persevere through it all. We have evolved—our love, our growth, and our shared existence are a testament to what we’ve become.
This song stands out in my album Born. It had to be either the opening or the closing track, embodying source energy in motion, a divine timing that transcends the ordinary. Now, as we anticipate the arrival of our next child this October, a new excitement fills me, urging me to create new music. To perform live. To get my shit in order. My life has a renewed urgency; I’m restructuring to ensure I’m surrounded by the best support in every aspect—work, birth, family, art, friendship. This week has proven to be just that. Urgent. I’ve accomplished more in the last 5 days than I have all year. I’m so fucking excited for the next chapter.
As I board my flight home, all I can think of is the joy of holding these two tomorrow. Bethany, your strength and power are unmatched. I can’t wait to come kiss that growing belly of yours. And Kilmer, daddy’s coming home soon. I promise.
If you have 10 minutes to spare, watch this video. It will change something in you. Every time we watch it, we grow closer. As Mother’s Day fast approaches, know that I see you. Y’all are it. Happy Mother’s Day whoever you are. Wherever you are. I love you. Viva La Santa Madre | Posted on 11/May/2024 10:32:29
