people whose mothers once held their sweaty baby faces tight against their breast with mollifying "shh shh shhs" and an innately maternal rocking. this woman in penn station held a crying baby tight against her chest, rocking and soothing it. i watched that woman and thought about what it means to be a mother. your mother, my mother, anyones mother

one thing i really appreciate about reading you is that you always give me something to think about; whether it's mundane or unanswerable. i had this long crap comment full of pontification and i edited and started over. all i really wanted to say was- you have a good heart.

pontification is always welcome, but i know what you mean. i always find myself typing out this poorly worded paragraph of crap and then highlighting and hitting backspace and just saying something real.

thank you.
