2023/24
It’s September in Mustarinda and I spend most of my residency in the bedroom.
There I sit in the armchair nursing my younger daughter.
She is not that small anymore and I was hoping I will get a lot done.
I stare at the wall, at the doors of the wardrobe, at the floor, at the ceiling.
The light is coming from the window.
There is a forest.
The older child is next to us in the cot nesting, coming to terms that she is not the only one anymore.
It’s time to go home and I hop in my car and I stop to nurse and I ride the train and I stop to nurse and doesn’t it all start with love.
