The sweetest speech in the world is the news of a baby born. My friend's granddaughter was born yesterday before dawn, and she's lovely and healthy and the whole family is joyful. I've already seen three pictures of her, thanks to IPhones, and feel I am sharing in this happiness. And soon my son and daughter-in-law will have a baby boy. I'm excited and nervous and waiting, just waiting. I really don't want to do anything else, so I distract myself but in the back of my mind is anticipation. Being in the present moment is difficult.
But last night at our writing group, I experienced such joy because everyone's piece was just so terrific and I had this epiphany of how skilled the group had become through hard work and supporting each other. Their speech was my joy. We were telling important stories, sending them out into the world to share. It felt so good.
