I’m checking out at one of my local favorites today, chatting easily with the shopkeeper as she packs up my goodies, when a sweet-looking woman holding an even-sweeter-looking baby pauses to my right. “I’ve followed you online for years,” she smiles.
The shopkeeper (whose name I learn later is Grace) and I smile back, and our gazes settle on the little one, who’s all bright blue eyes and cherub cheeks and a spike of hair. We are enthralled by her. Not in the usual cooing and squealing sort of way, but…
…quietly.
Tenderly, the way you might look at your best friend’s baby.
Reverently. Ahhh, yes, that’s the right word. REVERENTLY.
We stare into her perfectness and marvel at the process of growing from infant to adult. “We learned how to walk,” I say softly. “Yeahhhh,” breathes Grace. “How to… walk.” We marvel so hard it’s as if we’re stoned.
But we’re not stoned. Just in awe of this child, her soul only seven months in this body. She is bundle of rosy innocence in a world teetering between chaos and ease, of have nots and have too muches, tiptoeing among the land mines of suffering and hope.
I can’t take my eyes off the baby, whose name I learn later is Cecile. “I wonder if she can feel all this love,” I say to her mama, whose name I learn later is Claire.
I wonder the same about my own daughters, now 17 and 15. Can they feel the reverence in which I hold them? Do they know how cherished they are?
Claire and Grace and I chat a little more. We hug. I capture the moment – not for the sole purpose of sharing it on social media – but because I don’t want to forget the love we’re all feeling. THIS is what being human is all about, I think. THIS is the gift.
Thanks for saying hi, Claire! ... See MoreSee Less
The amount of fun I had tonight as @authorlisagenova ‘s conversation partner at the @stlouiscountylibrary was a full 10/10. Such a rich discussion about mental and neurological disorders. (Lisa is a Harvard-trained neuroscientist-turned-bestselling-novelist who has tackled topics from Alzheimer’s to autism. Her latest book – “More or Less Maddy,” the subject of tonight’s talk – is about a young woman with bipolar disorder.)
Lisa’s goals in writing this book were to reduce the stigma, shame and misinformation around bipolar disorder; to humanize the experience of living with it; and to become a vehicle for conversation, understanding and social change. Based on the reactions from the hundreds of people in the audience, I’d say she did just that and then some.
Thanks for coming to St. Louis, Lisa. Can’t wait to see this one on the big screen someday soon! 👊
