“The central paradox of motherhood is that while our children become the absolute center of our lives, they must also push us back out in the world.... But motherhood that can narrow our lives can also broaden them. It can make us focus intensely on the moment and invest heavily in the future.”

“Child in the womb,
Or saint on a tomb
Which way shall I lie
To fall asleep?”
