Birth and rebirth
Maggie Mason's birth story is one of the most excellent things I've read in recent months. Do not underestimate how much this will touch you.
"Now and then, in the weeks to come, I begin to have those moments of overpowering love — moments when it seems impossible that my body could have created something so precious, moments when his delicate fingers are enough to bring on tears.
Soon enough, those moments are so intense that they almost blot me out, and there’s very little break between them."
