ON THE HORIZON

I believe nothing can truly prepare you for the arrival of a child. Physically, the last few weeks come with aches and pains, and the usual sleeplessness and breathlessness. Emotionally, I can always tell when I am close to delivering because I am suddenly filled with a surreal feeling. It is almost like I disconnect from the stresses and issues of everyday life. I notice myself spending a lot of time at flower markets, and cooking slow, elaborate meals for my family. I feel like I am in a meditative state...as if I am carrying something otherworldly inside of me, and it is getting bigger and bigger... I don’t know how else to describe it, except that it feels surreal.
