This is a moment...

 I'm going through my miscellaneous scrap folder, in the hope to one day clear out my front room, so someone can walk in there, sit down, read a book, lie down and have sleep, etc. Meanwhile, this first step for humankind...


50th page in, and to be kept, is a hand written note, by me, dated 0610hrs 5th December 2018.  It is then annotated with a further note dated 'and now 26th December 2018'.


This is a moment

Similar to realising how lovely is music

Camille and Alex are with Child. Recently.

Floods of memory and circumstance.

I am sorry.

I do not know why.

But you start so afresh.

Parents.

Children

It only matters - who cares.

We care.


Then the note of 'and now 26th Dec 2018':

Soon this embryo will be stable enough 

that the parents may celebrate and extend 

the news that it will most likely grow

to be human.
