Naina
October 20, 2007
I am ready, baby. What can I promise you that will bring you to birth?
Tell me you will love me into being. Tell me you will not be afraid.
That would be untrue, baby.
Then tell me you will live with your fear and your doubt and even so, bring me to light.
-Shauna Singh Baldwin
