For My Children
How did it happen, exactly, all the molecules and atoms converging to make you? How did it happen, the sense of urgency and eros that commingled flesh and fluid and oocyte to create your beings? How did it happen, the cascade of synaptic connectivity, the tension between nature and nurture, that opened the possibility of you and us. How did it happen the cosmic pull of wanting, the call and response, your bodies moving towards ours through time and space? How did it happen, the miracle of you in our arms?
