Soft Sleep

The first mother carried her child on her back, soft skin wrapped in rough cloth, arms free to find food in the earth. The first child slept on her stomach. The world was large and wild, and those moments of sleep were enclosed in love, in warm arms, the smell of newly picked fruit hanging low in the air.

Yet days end, and children grow, and the world remains large and wild.

Too soon, a stomach is no longer a place for sleeping, and the first mother weaves the first blanket for her child. And threads enclosed them in love.
