This morning I woke up at 5:30 a.m. when Ruby started calling out her chorus of little bird sounds.  Sitting in our living room feeding her, the light came in with a kind of still yellow hue, first making shadows of light across the wall and then falling upon us like a warm calm blanket.

It is difficult to find the words to write about meeting the most important people that come into our lives. Often the details are a blur of color and emotion and sound. On February 26th, I met my daughter for the first time. When she was placed on my chest and I looked into her [...]]]></description>

I wish for you
a world where the kisses out number the cries
where you awake
to the unconditional eyes of love
I wish for you afternoons
that make spaces for spontaneous naps
and mornings that break wide open
with the smile of possibility
I wish for you
the color of a rainbow
landing silently on your skin
and the belief that the pot of gold [...]]]></description>

Meditating this morning, the house was quiet around me. The pillows stacked beneath me gave my spine height and my body support. I could feel the breath coming in and out of my body and my mind following that rhythm as thoughts floated in an out like letters wanting to be opened and read. I [...]]]></description>

this morning
wrapped in scarf and coat
I walk slowly
balancing this heavy belly
around the soft corners
of our neighborhood
winter chill
whipping my cheeks to pink
and my mind alert
to the movements
now slow and bold
in these last days before your birth
nature feels close
my body ripe
like falling fruit
and I feel most calm
out here amongst
the wind and sun and winter blooms
especially the magnolia [...]]]></description>

As we step through the squares of December on the calender a certain sentiment starts to rise. The soundtrack of our lives shifts into sentiment and expectations. There is the wrapping up of presents and end of year projects. There is reflection and expression through song and hand written cards. Suddenly we are gathering with [...]]]></description>

so much of our time now
is spent gazing towards you
names and clothing
whispers of your birth down a phone line
so many hands
resting like barometers
along my belly
and it feels like the silence
in a thunderstorm
waiting for you to sound
as if hiding in an eggshell
under our hands
we wait patiently
with only the sound of our breath
until you shake, kick, hiccup
and [...]]]></description>

side sleeping doesn&#8217;t come easy
my back longs to stretch flat
arms and legs reaching out like a jellyfish
trying to find a quiet
so I start
on my right
so that my belly
can beach itself on a nearby pillow
held protectively
by my husband&#8217;s unique fingerprints
the life lines running
along the inside of his hand
and when once
we used to rock ourselves to [...]]]></description>
