Swimming in a binary sea of 0s and 1s, drifting on currents and finding schools of friendly faces like this happy pod here at Fifi's break.<br />xxDuyvkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17660918523479855890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2145558051219626249.post-51879721060867988212010-09-20T14:06:14.984+10:002010-09-20T14:06:14.984+10:00Mary's thought that our unborn babes are swimm...Mary's thought that our unborn babes are swimming together somewhere, is beautiful. <br /><br />I think there must be a lot of them.

Happy, not sad.<br /><br /><br /><br />But how peculiar to gaze in there and see empty space? Bizarre. <br />But welcome. Nothing untoward in there that I could make out, thankfully. Hooray.<br /><br /><br />And I cant wait to see your baby!fifihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946945635726214503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2145558051219626249.post-62429234300716239762010-09-19T22:33:08.076+10:002010-09-19T22:33:08.076+10:00With love, and tears of recognition,

So now I can't sleep but I can read. <br /><br />Yes, we are all so like the sea. So full of life and salt. So transforming and so steady. And every wave is a change and a challenge. Your powerful words brought tears of remembering. <br /><br />I wish for you strength and joy.

There was my uterus empty. <br /><br />It all seemed like such a waste. And having only seen these parts of me swimming with life it left me kind of sad seeing them empty and dark.
