From now on the baby rules and exerts our obedience. The decision one makes has already fallen. A teacher was born unto me (us). What good fortune to meet a teacher who is impatient from the start. And who knows nothing, on top of it. There is no bargaining with such a teacher. There is much to be learned, and the lessons brook no postponement. They begin right away. To the baby, everything (myself, us) is of intense and serious interest. It smells good.

Just a moment ago it wasn’t here yet. (What was here a moment ago, no longer is. But it’s not gone either. The moment without the baby hasn’t turned into a moment with the baby.) Now it is here. It is here. The baby is here. A tremendous presence, even though the baby is anything but tremendous. Overwhelming emotion. Tears of exhaustion, joy. A ceaseless gravity, a bath in which you are submerged well over your head. The gravity of relief. There it lies, the truth, and wants to be touched.
