An ordinary wondrous beginning.
Enveloped by a mother’s warmth.
The soothing sound of her beating heart hushed the noise.
No perception of fear or judgment.
Smiles form with ease.
Meeting the world with several cries.
Strange scents fill the nostrils.
The warmth.
The scent.
The sound.
A reassuring familiarity.
Time bore witness.
Growing.
Learning.
Dreaming.
