come and listen

"Sometimes I think dreams are like this,
cocooned in wombs which others may mistake for graves.
But we know.
We know the dream is just forming, waiting, maturing. We know that it is not there due to procrastination. It is there due to our careful nurturing, mothering, protecting.

And when we are alone
we rub tender fingers over the swollen creative womb
and say,
'All in good time, my dear. All in good time.'

We say 'seize the day' but sometimes even in the seizing some things just aren't ready to be birthed.
We trust the tension,
and check every now and again to make sure that little fetus heart is still about the business of beating. We are resolute and calm as we trust our motherly intuition.

As the woman I spoke to said, "It'll happen."
