Noah

A phone call, a feeling over dinner that we must call now, and we are transported more than two thousand miles just in time. There is a baby now where there used to be none, or nothing but the expectation of so much. It is real because we hear him crying, out of pain or weariness or bliss, alive and awake. A slow flash, being born; there is nothing else happening anywhere but there.
