It had never struck me before, the sensuous, very physical intimacy of those words, but as Mother spoke them, I could almost feel it, see it; the close, fluid world of the foetus, turning in the darkness that changed from red gold to deep red, to velvet blackness, depending on where the mother’s body was. The silent dance of creation, a symphony of mysteries woven together; bone, sinew, skin. The hands of God hidden from sight, working from the spirit outwards with absorbed tenderness, creating toes, shoulders, shaping the cranium, the long curve of the spine, the delicate intricacies of the lungs. Not to be despised, a human being, in all its weakness and helpless desire, its clumsiness and frailty. A thing of beauty, a work of God’s hands. I glanced up at Mother, but I felt shy to put into words the things that were stirring in my soul. Instead, I said, ‘I’ll never look at a candle flame in the same way again!’

She smiled. ‘No,’ she said, ‘but you’ll look at it more attentively.’
