New life emerges, cries break the silence of the cold theatre. Time slows, hours slip by drip by drip.
Winding hallways, stark white walls. Rest.
Day becomes night, night becomes day. Snatches of sleep. Glimpses of perfection, awe at the creation of tiny beings.
Long, slow, painful walks. Recovery. Life-sustaining nourishment - one to another.
Life-long bonds created, cherished moments anticipated, the miracle of life celebrated.
