Birth


Zita birthed a beautiful set of twins yesterday, in the woods. Brother and sister. We pulled the warm slimy sacs off of them, and to the music of her soft nickering, wiped them down and stood back to admire the workings of maternal instinct, first breaths, and wobbly knees. May is the month of bewildered gratitude.
