Today, I saw my baby’s heartbeats for the first time.
It was a UV scan, with a bunch of shadows and lights, out of which I couldn’t discern what I was looking at.
But below those was a picture I could read like musical notes on a page.
Black on white, lines in succession, expanding and contracting.
Heartbeats.
My baby’s heartbeats.
A drumming symphony, read on paper, but heard in my heart. A new harmony that’d follow me from this point onward. An unceasing background track to the rest of my life; resonating in my mind, reflecting on my choices, my love, my work, and my writing. Reflecting on all that I hold dear and close.
As long as that heart beats its rhythm, I will dance to it.
