Morning light

After my walk with Bo this morning through sidewalks with distilled, slanting, whiteFall light, and leaves of every color on maples, and the woodiness of the oaks, and water from rain on the grass, I came home and walked into the bedroom and saw the co-sleeper we have set up, and felt peaceful about her coming.

There is her bed. With some of her clothes stacked in it. And she will be in it soon. And she is safe in my belly.

I pray for her safety. I pray to my grandmothers, and to angels, to GOD, to all the mothers who have ever been, to make my baby safe.
