It is with such fond remembrance (for myself) that most email correspondence I get with moms of newborns happens at 3am. The world is so quiet then–dark, warm, insulating–just a time for mother & child to rock, soothe, nurse. Connect.  It’s a small, significant chapter, and as the weeks….errrr, sometimes months….go on it may feel a bit like The Neverending Story, but it does indeed come to a close.

The weight of her body

the smell of her neck

the sound of her cry

the pace of your stride

the sway of your body

the shush of your voice

the temperature of the room in the middle of the night

the tick of the clock

the light of the moon

all belong to a newborn parent in a magnificent, all-emcompassing way.

Most glorious night! Thou wert not sent for slumber!
~Lord Byron, Childe Harold
