As she sleeps


cold doesn't chill her
hot doesn't make her sweat
her belly doesn't rumble
her body doesn't ache
she is in her own space
she is bathed in soft light
her forehead is brushed by careful kisses
her ears by whispers of love
she is content
she is spoiled
she is privileged
she is fortunate

Hi babe. It breaks my heart to think of how elite she is, really. Thinking of the rest of the world... well, you know how I feel about all of this. Same stuff we've been talking about for years and years. XOXO Glad you're here.

I know. Please don't feel guilty for her fortune. Her safety and plenty and blessings won't make the world's suffering change. You teach and love her well, and she can help the world. xoxox

We have a 4 year old son. And I still remember the infancy age like it was yesterday.
