Expectation

There is a moment in a child’s life, when they learn they have a sibling (a baby sister!?) on the way. In that magic, imaginative space of childhood, the liminal being that is coming becomes something special indeed. How rich the universe that brings such things to a boy (or girl), an inborn friend, someone to teach, someone to join in all the games and joys life has to offer.

“May this earth please the soul of your feet
The waters whisper you name secret soft
These winds clasp your embrace
And the fire entertain
Your host of space”
