• Beside Mama, in my own folding chair, with my feet sticking out in front of me, I thought about my own innards. Just a few months before I'd had no idea whether my reproductive equipment worked. There was no evidence. But that week I had become a full-fledged bleeder and was still absorbed by this first change in myself that I had ever noticed. The click and buzz of my synapses kept making the same connection. If you can change, you can also end. Death had always been a theory to me. Now I knew. The terror hurt good and I nursed it and played it like a loose tooth.

• A new moon teaches gradualness
  and deliberation and how one gives birth
  to oneself slowly. Patience with small details
  makes perfect a large work, like the universe.
  What nine months of attention does for an embryo
  forty early mornings will do for your gradually growing wholeness
