Ah yes, miracles. Those
crazy things that happen along every once in a while, usually when least expected. But the miracle I'm really thinking of, to be more specific, is
the miracle of birth. What a blessid thing, this ability to bear
children, or in the case of other mammalian creatures, namely
horses, the ability to bear foals. Right. How
beautiful, a breath-taking experience, if you're lucky enough to
witness it.. how
amazing, how.. totally f*@#ing
gross!!!
I'm not saying that it isn't a beautiful thing, the
birth, that is, and I wouldn't give up witnessing something like that for the world.. but, I could do without the
afterbirth that gushes forth so readily afterwards. Ugh.
Nauseating. :) A small price to pay, though, I would have to say, and I'm sure most would
agree. However, not for those with
weak stomachs, that's for sure.
Seeing the
tiny creature laying there, completely exhausted,
blinking rapidly, taking in this new world, its delicate little eyes
aching at the sheer enormity of it all.. it's really, truly, one of the most
awe-inspiring things I've ever witnessed in my
life.
