Today is our youngest's birthday. She threw herself a party last night and we are taking her and her siblings to dinner tonight. When she was born, there was a true knot in her umbilical cord, and we felt so blessed that it had never tightened in the womb. When Andrew Solomon's son was born, the doctors and nurses panicked, and he was given a CAT scan. So Solomon and his partner got quite a scare. I think I'm grateful there was not quite as much technical intervention in the old days. Anyway, I've always thought of her as a bit of a miracle. They all are. It's a rocky path to birth, frought with dangers.
I'm going to meditation and a dharma talk then having an interview with my teacher. My first one. I have no idea how it will be. I will be as surprised about what comes out of my mouth as anyone. Maybe that's how it should be.
