I am a conduit, pure liquid medium. Motherhood transforms the body into a vessel of nourishment, a testament to the life-giving power of a woman. At her lips, my essence flows, a silent conversation between two souls intertwined. As I prostrate myself, there is a sacred exchange, a bleeding of love that knows no bounds.

The Symphony of Motherhood

In the silence of the night, at 3 a.m., she wields the strength of a legend. Tiny fingers wrapped around thumbs, she takes from me her sustenance.

The Journey Beyond

In the midst of nurturing, we embark on another type of journey. One day, the tales of Paris at her ears will transform into the steps upon its streets. The silkiness of her cheek will brush against the Damask flowers in a foreign garden, and the backdrop of our nocturnal songs will shift from the familiar room to the grandeur of new horizons. The conductress of milk, the conductor of dreams—both mother and child are travelers at heart, bound for explorations of both the tangible world and the boundless realms of love and connection that tether them, regardless of where life's passages may lead.
