Wonder

I'm trying something new this morning.  My daughter follows a blog that does this "Five Minute Friday" thing, which has intrigued the heck out of me.  I'm gonna give it a whirl...

The premise...write for 5 minutes about the "given" topic.  No worries of editing, syntax, etc.  Just type...

This Friday it's WONDER

Here goes...

I wonder what their thoughts are this morning, this morning after the arrival of their new baby girl.  I wonder what the neighbors in the upstairs apartment must have thought, listening to primal groans, and grunts as She pushed her baby out in her bathtub, in those usually quiet, still wee morning hours.  I wonder what goes through the thoughts of a newborn after that incredible journey.  I often think about those newborns and I wonder...what must they be thinking, feeling, etc right now.  Do they have thoughts?  Do they process what just happened?   It's quite a change from what they are used to, isn't it?  I wonder if people get it, how wonderful and awesome birth is, how it truly is the space between heaven and earth.  I wonder if folks understand that I get to see the most spiritual of moments, and how that affects me?  It is WONDEROUS, what I get to do; greet these new babies, touch their little bodies, bless them, smell them, love them.  I am blessed.

And now my 5 minutes are up.  That was quick.
